Brookwood Elementary School

March is Music in Our Schools Month. This year, Covid has caused music to look different. Whether at home or at school, our students are having a great time participating in musical activities. Last year, the Musication site created videos for families to play at home. From activities like this, students learn rhythm, how to cooperate in a group, and music appreciation. Some of these have been shared through SeeSaw for our at home learners. The Snyder family chose "musical instruments" to play along with The Can Can. It is a lot of fun to play along with this game-styled activity. Check it out here: https://tinyurl.com/3jnxfmbc Grab a box of pasta and a plastic container - or whatever you have handy, and give it a try.

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 Miss Ferguson! We hope that you are able to see the many important lessons the good egg has for you today.
