For your weekend enjoyment! Our Family Engagement Team is excited to share with our Brookwood Families and our community members a digital read aloud series where our team and staff members will be reading books aloud to you and your families while sharing effective reading strategies and activities for you to engage in at home with not only our books we are sharing with you but also your own personal books, books from our local library, our school libraries, or even books bought from the store. We hope you enjoy this activity and find ways to implement these strategies and games at home with your loved ones. We hope you enjoy this read aloud from Mrs. Arshem where she shares with us a book about kindness. Did you know that February 17th is National Random Acts of Kindness Day and that the month of February is kindness month? Will you take on her challenge at the end of her read aloud? https://youtu.be/81Ph82pyt-M To view the rest of our read aloud series, view them here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlhKsK8VoY0m8XUfhSQInKAKDOMIexVw3

Today marks Day 10 of our Brookwood Reads 21 Day Family Reading Challenge and we've got some trivia for you! Did you know...... Pete the Cat is based on a kitten that the series illustrator, James Dean, adopted from a shelter in 1999. Dean named the kitten Pete. The real Pete wasn't blue; he was black. Green Eggs and Ham has only 50 words in it. Author Theodor Seuss Geisel took a dare from his editor that he could not write a book with only 50 words. It turned out he could and he won the bet! Magic Tree House Series: Just like in the books where Annie and Jack go on all sorts of adventures, author Mary Pope Osborne has traveled to many places. Growing up, she lived in 13 different houses and went to eight different schools. Dav Pilkey, the author, came up with the idea for Captain Underpants when he was just in second grade. The main characters, Harold and George, are named after two characters from other well-known children's books. Harold's name came from Harold and the Purple Crayon and George's name came from Curious George. These are all great books and authors of books that you can find at our school libraries or even our local public library! We hope that you and your family continues to be engaged in your reading to finish your challenge strong! Have pictures to share? Email them to: Helen.Xiong@gcj2.k12.wi.us

How can kids help change the world? By performing one random act of kindness at a time! Students at Brookwood Schools will kick off Kindness Week on February 16th. Kindness week will involve fun, kindness themed spirit dress up days and daily kindness challenges at both buildings. Kindness challenges will be announced each morning during announcements, so virtual students can join in the fun as well! Students (at school or virtual) participating in the kindness challenge have the chance of being caught by a staff member and earning a kindness ticket for a daily drawing. The elementary school will also be listening to and discussing a story about kindness each day.

Today is World Read Aloud Day! This day celebrates the importance of reading books aloud as a different way to learn from but also to enjoy books. Being read aloud to doesn't have to stop when you get to a certain age; it is enjoyable even for adults! In honor of this day, Ms. Bolwerk, our District Library Media Specialist, recorded a bonus read aloud video on her middle school library YouTube channel. While the channel is generally aimed at the middle school audience, this reading of Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson is a great story for all ages! You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/dSFIbz3YwxE While you are there, check out the other videos Ms. Bolwerk has created to promote books in our middle school library and the love of reading. And for those of you doing the 21 day reading challenge...the minutes from this read aloud can count towards your 21 minutes!! Thank you for your participation in this global movement, and happy reading! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest #BrookwoodReads21
