The kindergarten student in Mrs. Renn's class worked on making turkeys. These turkeys are a form of process art that gives students freedom to choose how they want to create their art and how the final product will look. Making art is a wonderful way to work on finger strength, fine motor skills, and following directions. Skills included gluing, cutting, and coloring. These turkeys will decorate our school and homes. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

We are excited to announce that Kohl's Wild Theater will be presenting a virtual assembly for our 4K through 5th grade students! On December 4th, the students ( virtual and in-person) will go on an adventure to the Zoo with a student named Skyler. After a mysterious encounter with a wise river turtle, Skylar is transformed into a Humboldt penguin, a zebra, and a river otter. Skylar learns that to return to human form, one must “wade with the waddle,” “doze with the dazzle” and “roll with the romp.” With the help of some colorful animals and a caring zookeeper, Skylar learns to overcome a fear of interacting with others. This 40-minute interactive musical meets social-emotional learning standards by exploring the connections between young people, zookeepers, and animals. Teachers will be providing the link to view the assembly on the day of the performance.

The Lake Geneva Food Service that provides our District breakfast and lunch meals to our students has received an extension for the Federal Summer Food Service Program. Brookwood students are eligible for one FREE breakfast and one FREE lunch daily for the entire 2020-2021 school year. We encourage each student to take advantage of our nutritious meals at no cost. This will require no action on your part, just show up! Additional meals, milk, or a la carte purchases will be debited from the students' account. If your family has already paid toward your lunch balance, we ask that you please leave the balance for future use.

3rd grade students in Ms. Skalecki's class are researchers becoming experts on a topic of their choice. Students chose an informational topic they want to learn all about, and are gathering facts about their topic. Students have chosen topics like tsunamis, kangaroos, ferrets, sharks, legos, and more. They will be writing, and organizing information to share with others and we can't wait to see their final products! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

Here is our first video from our GCJ2 Family Engagement's Read Aloud Series. Ms. Stanley's reading strategy she is sharing with you is to make predictions! Making predictions is a lifelong skill that we not only use while reading but is intertwined within the many tasks we partake in on a daily basis! Take part on being interactive with us on her video posted on Facebook! https://youtu.be/uBs_aQbe_tA

Students in first grade have been working hard on their addition strategies! Students practiced their doubles facts by making a flip book and playing a doubles dice game. Doubles aren't trouble for these sharp first graders! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
