Once again the 6th grade students at East Meadows Elementary performed skits as part of the play “The Odyssey.”   A poem written by Homer in approximately 700 B.C.

Our 4th Grade students had the opportunity to explore Camp Floyd on their field trip on September 14, 2012.  They were able to participate in interactive, hands-on experiences as they engaged in the activities of a soldier at Camp Floyd in 1861.

ARGH! First grade pirates found themselves marooned on the East Meadows Isle on September 13,2012. These little buccaneers found themselves learning about literacy and math through fun pirate activities.  By the end of the day they learned, “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.”  Thank ye first-grade teachers for making learning fun and exciting for our students.

Fifth graders at East Meadows celebrated Colonial Day today. Students learned about what it would have been like to live in colonial days through active participation in a variety of activities. They wrote with feathers, made a horn book, a quilt block and a colonial sign. They dipped candle wicks, cleaned cotton and played a game called “ball and stick.”

This year’s Mustang Week was centered around our ‘Super Hero School’ theme.  The week started off on Tuesday as students participated in an art project.   Wednesday was the Corbin White Game Show Assembly, ‘Learning is a Super Power! Challenge’.  This academic assembly stresses the importance of teamwork, self-esteem, and knowledge in a fun and creative way.  Students are required to think during this assembly.  They were asked questions from English, Math, Social Studies and Science.

East Meadows would like to welcome all the new preschool studenst to a Super Year in Preschool. Our preschool teacher is  Mrs. Nicole Kemble with Miss Jean and Miss Dana there to assist with all their needs.

I use to be little, but not anymore,
today I'll get up and walk out the door.
I'm going to kindergarten- it's the first time for me.
It's great to big, but I'm scared as can be.
It's great to be big! I'm so glad that I'm me.

East Meadows would like to welcome all our new Kindergarten students to school.

Welcome back East Meadows Elementary students and faculty! This year students will focus on being 'Super Hero Learners'. Principal Liddiard held an assembly on the first day of school and talked about different ways we can be Super Hero Learner's. We will focus on such things as friendship, respect, integrity, self-control, study and hard work, responsibility, team work and on being fit and strong and having good health habits. Teachers and staff will recognize and reward students for 'Super Hero' behavior. So what is your Super Hero behavior going to be?

East Meadows students are putting their elementary years behind them and moving on to junior high. They have had a great year with Mr. Gull, Mrs. Tomadakis and Ms. Hammari. East Meadows wishes them the best.
