Meadville Elementary

This week in ECSE we read the book "Our Class is a Family" and talked about how we can treat each other like a family. We made bracelets and decorated a heart.

💫🌟 Learning centers are rocking and rolling in PreK this week! Students in Mrs. Martin and Mrs. McGhee’s class are working hard on cutting, learning how to write the first letter of their name, and using fine motor skills to create various lines and shapes. The students are thoroughly enjoying these centers and look forward to what they will do the next day!! ✂️🍏✏️

Mrs Hupp’s class went hands-on and learned all about numbers 1-5. They wrote and made the number, and then used their Playdoh to make that many raindrops for each cloud.

Fifth grade students became flavor detectives! Using a classification key, they investigated the mysterious Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans prior to tasting them. From sweet to downright strange, each bean was a fun surprise!
