Students in Mrs. Goggin's second grade class have been geologists in science. After studying types earth materials in the last investigation students learned how earth materials are used this week. The second graders became engineers to investigate how to best mix sand and matrix (a cornstarch and water mixture that acts like a glue) to make a permanent sand sculpture. They then used the properties of clay to design a bead. Those beads were painted and turned into a necklace or bracelet for them to keep. The students had fun learning how earth materials are used in construction materials such as bricks, asphalt and concrete! #BrookwoodsBest

In the BMS Art Appreciation class with Ms. Nousaine, students learn about art from around the world. They are currently studying the art of Japan. Students are learning about the famous Japanese painting, The Great Wave. Did you know this painting is the inspiration for the wave emoji? Students learned about the artist Hokusai and his famous woodblock print that is known around the world. Students then had their choice of medium to create their own interpretation of The Great Wave. Students chose clay, paint, marker, pen, and paper scraps. Way to work hard, Mustangs! #BrookwoodsBest

2nd and 3rd grade students have been working hard at their fitness testing the past few weeks in P.E. class. Students were given an assignment on Seesaw to reflect on their personal fitness scores and to come up with a personal goal for the year that they can work on outside of school. They will be revisiting this goal in the winter and spring. Students are familiar with uploading pictures and videos for different skills but this is the first time that they had to write using this program in P.E.. #BrookwoodsBest *More pictures on our Facebook page
