Smith's Spotlight

It’s been a while since I posted here. Sandy started Brumation (hibernation for reptiles) late August. But, she awakened to wish you a happy 2024!! I hope you have a great year!

I’m sure many of you have heard, but I wanted to post in case you hadn’t. I have accepted the school counselor position and Robert Martin. It has been a bittersweet time as I have packed up my room. I have absolutely loved teaching you children, grandchildren, and other loved ones. This new position has been a goal of mine for some time. I am excited to start this new adventure! Thank you for all the support, kind words, and love you have shown me over the years!

It’s a wrap on Class of 2030 5th grade. Thank you for a great year! Have a great summer!

Don’t miss out on summer camps. Here’s the volleyball flyer.

Thursday, we enjoyed some time at Jumpy Jump Land for our state assessment incentive. Then, we enjoyed some Kona Ice as a special treat for 5th graders provided by Andover State Bank!

Friday, we had our annual Meadowlark College. Each teacher takes a K-5 mixed group and leads them through an activity of the teacher’s choice. My group was building circuits using Snap Circuits.

We had a great time at our Wax Museum! It was great watching student show off their hard work and their costumes!

Wax Museum is almost ready!

We had such an incredible Student Council group this year! They worked hard all year long and were able to bring some new “must do’s” at Meadowlark for the future! I’m so proud of all of you, keep being positive leaders!!

Friday was Fun in the Sun. The fifth graders played games and did track and field events in the morning. Then we ate lunch in Central Park. We finished the day running stations for grades K-2! It was fun watching them interact and lead the little ones!

We are hard at work on our Wax Museum boards. Here’s a little sneak peak of what is going on:
