An Amazing Authors In April!

We had a great day at Meadow Brook with three amazing author presentations on Thursday!

All of the books that were brought in to be signed by the authors were returned to students on Friday, so be sure to check the they bring them home to enjoy!

Also, if you were able to enjoy the presentations and took any video clips, please note that these should NOT be shared, especially on social media.

Authors in April, Inc. signs contracts with the authors guaranteeing no videos will be made and/or shared, especially with Josh Funk graciously sharing his new, not-yet published book.

Thank you!

Hero Headlines: Learning Is Fun At Meadow Brook!

Be A Meadow Brook Hero!

Safe. Respectful. Responsible.

It’s been great to have some downtime with family and friends over the past week!

Breaks from school are all about mindfulness and balance.  In order to do our best learning we have to be our best selves, which often means relaxing and having fun.

At Meadow Brook we work hard to see that the students we serve have fun while they learn.

We take pride in our core philosophy that children should be comfortable and relaxed at school so they can focus on engaging in creative, collaborative, exploration.

In the week before our break we put together some programs and activities on the foundation of that core philosophy!

The Decimal Diner. Connecting math to eating out!

Snap Words In Disguise. Dressing up is fun!

A Day At The Beach. Reading is always fun at MBE!

Join us on Twitter @ThinkMBE for daily updates.

Here’s to another joyful Meadow Brook week!

Thank you for your patience and you partnership…in it together for the kids.

With gratitude,

Hero Headlines: Mouse PAW China 2019 “We Share”

Be A Meadow Brook Hero!

Safe. Respectful. Responsible.

We went to China last week.  Take a quick look with the lates Mouse PAW (Peek at the Week) video embedded below.

What a beautiful country!

We were treated with such incredible kindness and warmth.

We moved from city to city and school to school.

We took a whirlwind tour of the education system in and around the Shanghai region.

We met administrators, teachers, parents, students, and other stakeholders along the way.

We shared stories of our individual and collective journey and we listened as our hosts shared theirs with us.  It was wonderful.

We talked, we problem solved, we ate, we laughed, we played, we drew calligraphy characters, and we learned a few words to express how we were feeling…”thank you” and “beautiful” among others.

We engaged and our Chinese partners engaged with us.

I can’t describe the magnitude of the wonders we experience in words or in pictures.  You simply had to be there.  Actually, I highly recommend that you go.

Of all the thoughts and ideas rushing through my mind in this moment the one that stands out the most is that we are more alike than we are different.

I’m honored to represent Rochester Community Schools and Meadow Brook Elementary School as a part of this most recent China delegation, and I’m ready to extend the experience as we seek to continue enhancing our Global Awareness initiatives including our efforts to extend curriculum, programming and opportunities around diversity and inclusion.

Coming tougher with like-minded people from around the world is good for our community and great for our students, from the youngest to the oldest we serve. It’s good for our teachers, our parents, and our administrators.

It’s been really good for me:).

Here’s to another joyful Meadow Brook week!

Thank you for your patience and you partnership…in it together for the kids.

With gratitude,

 

Seth

MBE Candy for Charity is Here!

Too much candy after trick-or-treating?!

No worries!

Bring it to Meadow Brook starting tomorrow through November 8th and feed it to our MB Candy Monster!

Candies will be donated to various local organizations.

It’d also be a great help if chocolate candy was bagged separately from non-chocolate.

Thank you!
