We are SO excited to announce that all 4K-7th graders will be going home with summer school booklets today!!
Classes are FREE for all students enrolled at Brookwood. ALL classes will be held at the middle school this summer. Students are registered on a first "received" basis -- due to popular demand and limited class sizes -- we enroll students as forms are turned into the offices. Forms should be turned into your child's homeroom teacher with the building they attend so they can get them submitted to the office in a timely and orderly fashion.

Market Day is an awesome learning experience for our 3rd graders. In social studies, they have been studying Producers and Consumers, and Saving and Spending. Students have created their own businesses with a handmade product. They have worked on supply costs, marketing and production.
On Market Day, students set up their stands and sell their products. Every student and teacher receives 10 Apple Bucks on their way in and they can purchase whatever products they want. Yes, this is real life products, but not real money. Students have art work, crafts, slime, etc. It's like a farmers market set up and students are allowed to walk through and check out all the products. Attached is the YouTube video of last year's Market Day, if you want to get a better idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvruYxdGgA&feature=youtu.be

On May 1st, 3rd grade students will be attending Education Day with the Beloit Sky Carps. Throwing baseball into the curriculum engages students and helps them learn English, Math, Science, and History in exciting new ways! More information will be going home with students soon!
Way to make us #MustangProud, Lucas!!
Lucas is the first student at BES to reach 200 reading steps with our monthly reading logs through our reading curriculum. Those 200 steps equal 50 hours of reading! Wow! Way to go Lucas and all those families helping their children grow in literacy by reading at home.
The second graders at BES will be traveling to the Lake Geneva YMCA for five Monday afternoons starting April 22 (ending May 20th). They will be in the water learning valuable swimming skills like Swim, Float, Swim; Jump, Push, Turn, Grab; and Moving Bobs to Safety. We will also learn water safety skills both in and out of the pool. Everyone is able to do this free of charge thanks to the YMCA.
The Geneva Lakes YMCA Aquatics Dept., is ALWAYS thinking about water safety because they are very passionate about teaching kids to swim and be safe around water to help prevent drowning. In our communities, there are so many lakes & pools that this is a necessary skill for our kids to be learning.
We are joining over 1500 kids and 13 schools in Walworth County and beyond that have already come to the YMCA to learn these much-needed life skills.
*Families can check with their child's homeroom teacher for more information and details on these events*
Way to make us #MustangProud -- to our 2nd and 3rd graders in Running Club! They are rocking it! These students are averaging 50 miles in each of their 45 minute running club sessions!!
Third grade students took their geometry to the streets! They took all the information they have learned about polygons, triangles and quadrilaterals to create incredible mosaic chalk art. This was an enjoyable and academic break from their Forward state testing.
Hurry and get your seats before the show starts at 6 at the middle school! Thank you to the Brookwood PTO for this fun free family event tonight!! Here are a couple of pictures from this afternoons show that was put on for our students at our elementary school.
