Congratulations to all of our BES Be Brookwood winners!
Each month, BES celebrates students and classrooms who go above and beyond to show what it means to Be Brookwood! Our staff members nominate students by giving out Brookwood tickets when they see them demonstrating one of our core expectations: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Responsible.
Each classroom has one student selected as a Be Brookwood winner of the month. Students then get to pick a meaningful prize and experience with a staff member at school.
We are so proud of these students and this class for making Brookwood a kinder, safer, and more responsible place to learn and grow.
Keep showing us what it means to Be Brookwood! #MustangProud

BES BE BROOKWOOD CLASSROOM
Classrooms at BES can earn Be Brookwood tickets when they demonstrate what it means to Be Brookwood by being kind, safe, and responsible throughout the school day. Tickets can be earned from any staff member who notices classrooms making great choices TOGETHER!
Each month, one classroom is randomly selected as the Be Brookwood Classroom Winner of the Month. The winning class earns the honor of keeping the Mustang Trophy in their classroom for the entire month as a reminder of their positive behavior, teamwork, and school pride.
Keep up the amazing work, Brookwood!

Thank you to all the students and staff who dressed up for Unity Day this week! Standing together against bullying and choosing kindness, inclusion, and respect....by wearing orange, we show that everyone belongs, everyone matters, and we can all make a difference by being a buddy, standing up for others, and spreading kindness.

A Wonderful Day in Nature at Seno K/RLT Conservancy!
Our 4K students and families enjoyed a wonderful day exploring nature at Seno Conservancy! 🌿🍎 It was a special opportunity to learn, discover, and make memories together while engaging all five senses.
Throughout the day, children pressed apples (and we drank apple cider too), created corn husk dolls, collected seeds, and enjoyed a story hike filled with fun and engaging stories. From discovering treasures in nature to listening, touching, smelling, seeing, and experiencing the world around us, there was so much to explore!
One of the best parts of the day was having our families join us for these hands-on adventures. Learning together, enjoying the outdoors, and connecting with nature made this trip a memorable experience for everyone.
A big thank-you to Seno Conservancy and all the families who joined us for a fun-filled day of learning, laughter, and outdoor exploration! 🍂🌻

Who knew learning about bugs could be this fun? 🐛 Our second graders spent the day at the Welty Environmental Center becoming real entomologists!
They read a book about what makes an insect an insect, then learned the parts of an insect through a song. After that, they put insect mouths to the test: a birthday blower became a butterfly's proboscis, a sponge game showed how sponging mouths work, and a piercing-sucking mouth activity had everyone buzzing.
Then they hiked through the woods and found some amazing insects: worms, spiders, and a bald-faced hornet getting ready to hibernate for winter- just a few of the things we spotted! 🐝🌲
We were very proud of our curious scientists!

First-grade students have been working hard on their first literacy unit all about maps! These young cartographers have been reading books about maps and learning about the important parts of a map, including keys, labels, and symbols. Over the past few weeks, students have created maps of houses, neighborhoods, our school, city, and state. They will wrap up the unit by mapping North America!
Students have had so much fun learning about where they live, the different regions of the United States, how weather can vary from place to place, and so much more. We are proud of all their hard work and can’t wait to see their final map books come together!

Third graders had the opportunity last week to go to Badger High School for their Ag Science day. They got to discover how science, agriculture, and technology work together to help us understand where our food comes from and how we care for the world around us. 🌎💚
From exploring plants and animals to learning about farming, food production, and the science behind agriculture, our students are growing their knowledge in some pretty exciting ways! 🌱✨
We love seeing our Mustangs learn, explore, ask questions, and make real-world connections! 💙🤍
