BES held their Winter Extravaganza today. Students started with craft making and cookie decorating. They then were sent on a Story Book Walk where they were given clues on where to find their "celebrity" readers and Winter stories!
BMS had a fantastic last day of 2023! They began the day with mini-courses where they got to travel to different classrooms and participate in activities such as lego challenge, dog agility course, ping pong, or rock salt ice-cream. It was really a great day. Have a great winter break, Mustangs!!!
2nd Grade has been celebrating Holidays Around the World...Sweden, Australia, Italy, Israel, India, and Mexico. They've enjoyed taking a plane ride to each country and watching themselves land in that country's airport on YouTube. Everytime they landed they had their "passport" stamped and added new information to their travel cases!
They even made a Christmas Koala in Australia and a Gnome in Sweden.
They've learned a lot and have had so much fun!
We hope you’ve been good! Our elf on the roof is making his rounds today!!! Hopefully we can catch him before he goes home!!!
First grade has been busy over the past month learning about the 16 career clusters and future job pathways. Now that our students have discovered attributes and skills connected to themselves, they are able to identify attributes of workers inside each cluster. Our goal is to set up our students for life success and give them understanding of their purpose. Each student chose careers they were interested in and we are now showcasing them in our 1st grade hallway as a reminder of a future goal they have!
The middle schoolers ended their day with an assembly where the following groups were recognized: boys and girls basketball, cheer, forensics, student council, leadership, and Be Brookwood kids from November. Leadership came together and planned some festive activities as well!! We hope you enjoy these action shots from this afternoon. We are so #MustangProud of our students.

Grade 4 celebrated an Early Wisconsin Gathering because they're currently studying Wisconsin history. They played games and experienced 1800’s activities, listened to Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little
House in the Big Woods, and sampled food harvested in WI. What a great day to be a Mustang!
Enjoy walking the illuminated Tom Holden trail at Memorial Park and school forest. Dress for being outside and go at your own pace, once or multiple times. There will also be a fire warming station and hot cocoa (as long as it lasts!). Come and go as you please, but make sure all children are with an adult. Hope to see you there!

Students in Personal Wellness (BMS) and Physical Education (BES) classes across the district have been learning about different careers in the sports and health industries. Each week, they focus on a new career and incorporate what they've learned into their classes.This last week, BES students learned about and became Sports Statisticians in their bowling units. BMS students have been taking on the roles of coaches, referees, cheerleaders, and media specialists during their basketball unit.

To celebrate Grinch Day, teachers at BES participated in a door decorating contest. The doors were judged by the November Be Brookwood winners. After tallying the results, Ms. Pacholczak's first grade class claimed first place! There were two runners up: Ms. Gahart's and Ms. Stolzman's second grade class and Ms. Wagner's first grade class. Thanks to everyone who participated! All the doors look amazing!
4K has been utilizing our outdoor learning space in this wonderful winter weather. They are exploring and investigating and being scientists. Their new vocabulary includes predictions and decomposition. Students are making predictions about the weather and what will happen to the pumpkins that we put in our garden area! In addition, they have been looking at patterns in nature. They've seen lots of discoveries while engaging with nature.
5th Grade spent their day reviewing for their long division math test by playing ultimate connect 4! As a group, they had to answer the question on their packet, and if they all had the correct answer and work shown --- they got to add a post it to a connect 4 space. Students got competitive while practicing their division!
