Did you know….the total distance of a marathon is 26.2 miles which is about 504 times the size of a standard football field….? Did you know…that only approximately 0.5% of the US population has ran a marathon….? Did you know….you can now say that you personally know someone that has completed not just one marathon but THREE marathons?!?!? Congrats to Mr. Guth for completing his third marathon at the 2019 Lakefront Marathon this past weekend!! Mr. Guth is a part of our Brookwood staff running club and co-coaches both the cross country and track teams. We are so very #MustangProud that as a district we not only value the health and wellbeing of our students, but so many of our adult staff members are actively looking to improve their wellness level as well. #BrookwoodsBest Facts taken from: http://www.marathontrainingschedule.com

Every afternoon, Mrs. Renn's kindergarteners work on their Be Brookwood skills. They practice being kind, safe, and responsible during Play Workshop. They make a plan with their group to make sure they are ready to get along and play nicely. Each day, students choose which activities or areas they want to participate taking turns going first at. Their activities change every two weeks. Students can build, play pretend, and explore with their classmates. Students have so much fun working with their peers to polish up on their Be Brookwood skills. #BrookwoodsBest

Students in Mrs. Brault's Kindergarten classroom love participating in math centers! Centers are a mix of hands-on, technology, and paper-pencil work. Students at the green table sorted 5-frame drawings by the number they corresponded to, then drew in a 5-frame to match the given number; students at the burgundy table sorted real objects by shape on Seesaw and then worked on IXL to improve their number sense; students at the red table filled in the missing number on their number cards and then used a pencil to write what number was missing, and students on the rug sorted a variety of things that were in the sensory table. Way to make us #MustangProud and being #BrookwoodsBest!! Helping all Children to Grow into Greatness! Head to our Facebook page to see more pictures! Facebook.com/GenoaCitySchools/
