A royal affair at Meadowbrook Elementary

Posted

Kindergarteners at Meadowbrook Elementary School in East Meadow celebrated the end of their Kings & Queens unit with a royal ball on Feb. 15.

Learning about kings and queens means that student listen to read-aloud texts, both fiction and nonfiction, about kings, queens and royal families. The selections build students’ understanding of responsibilities and customs associated with royalty throughout history.

Students and teachers gathered in the school’s all-purpose room dressed in crowns along with colorful suits and dresses. Additionally, kindergartners were excited when Cinderella surprised them with a special visit. She taught Meadowbrook’s young kings and queens how to waltz, curtsy and bow.
