Students searching for the perfect book on the W.O.W. Book Cart! 📕 📖
Hard work pays off! These students saved up their classroom currency for a special lunch with Ms. Kauffman. Community building and laughs were shared by all.
A heartfelt, sincere THANK YOU to Tracy Musall-Davidson and Kaylee LaOrange-Wagner for dutifully arriving at Meadowlawn every Thursday morning to help with our W.O.W. Book Cart!
They visit every classroom with our carts, collect & count money, and wrap things up within an hour or so!
Tracy and Kaylee are such a blessing, and I couldn’t do this without them!
Thank you to the families who have donated books all year long, we appreciate you!
Thank you to the families who send their student(s) with funds or books to exchange, you are helping to foster a lifelong love of reading!
Thank you to Mr. Shidler who faithfully announces a reminder of our Book Cart each week!

Ms. Kauffman’s third graders have worked hard this year with their learning and preparing for state testing. Some might say it has aged them by almost 100 years! 😂
PBIS points= Kinetic Sand Fun with Ms. Kauffman!

Students at Meadowlawn enjoyed their first W.O.W. Book Cart visit of the school year! A big thank you to Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Crozier for volunteering. The W.O.W. Book Cart will be available to visit classrooms every Thursday morning!
A handful of Ms. Kauffman’s students used their classroom economy earnings to purchase a “Lunch with the Teacher” pass. Good food and conversations were had by all!
Ms. Kauffman’s third grade students were hard at work responding to their first writing prompt! Students also enjoyed reading around the classroom in flex seating!
