Mustangs, don't forget...there is no school on Monday! If you are a BES virtual/blended student...material pick up will be on Tuesday --anytime after 9 am. See you on Tuesday, Mustangs!
We love being able to work with our Bloomfield Genoa City Fire Department during fire safety week, the Bloomfield-Genoa City Fire and Rescue Department participated in a virtual field trip for our elementary students. The students were shown all of the different trucks, a firefighter putting on all of their gear, a ride-along on the newest fire engine, and parking the big engine.
Families and community members, thank you for continuing to work with our students on fire safety! Your commitment is extremely appreciated! And a special shout out to the Bloomfield Genoa City Fire & Rescue team!

Check out what our 7th and 8th graders made ----these beautiful color wheel eyes were developed in their drawing class!
Students could choose which medium they wanted to work in and they turned out awesome. Pictured artworks are done in colored pencil, marker, and watercolor. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
To celebrate national Farm to School Month, students in grades 4/5 "crunched" into locally grown apples from Hafs Road Orchard! Schools around Wisconsin "crunched" at noon today! The socially distanced outdoor crunch was a huge success! The Great Lakes Apple Crunch hopes to get over 2 million crunches today and throughout the month of October!
Apples were purchased with a grant from Fuel Up to Play 60. Fuel Up to Play 60 is a school nutrition and exercise program launched by National Dairy Councils and the NFL in collaboration with the USDA to improve health and wellness for American's youth. This grant will help us continue to promote healthy eating and exercise all year long! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

Did you know it’s “Twinning Tuesday?!” Just kidding....we made that up but Mr. Guth and Mr. Dwyer were definitely on the same page with it being Twinning Tuesday today! Mr. Dwyer has been Mr. Guth’s student teacher since the start of this school year and they’ve been having a blast working with our middle school students and their physical education skills. Today, Mr. Dwyer had the students play a game called “Bank It, Bounce It, Make It!” Students had to concentrate and work on trying to get their various sized bouncy balls into their teams basket. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

Virtual Cross-Country Season Week 4
We made it to race week! Nice work so far cross-country team! This week, our goal is to have as many of us as possible run a timed race. It doesn't matter how far you run, or how fast you run, but just run! Use one of the free-run tracking apps to get your time and distance, and then report back to Mr. Guth on how awesome you did for your race! Here is the email address: Matt.Guth@gcj2.k12.wi.us #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
In STEAM class at BMS, students are discovering how they can learn about many subjects at once. For this activity, students used markers to create a radial symmetry design on a piece of diffusing paper. The paper was folded and put into water to observe how the water would move through the paper spreading the color from the markers with it. Using a time-lapse video tool, students were able to capture this cool experiment! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/n1SUy7b-J94
7th graders from Mrs. Tadlock’s science homeroom class continue to connect with virtual students through google meet. First, they learned how to create a split-screen on their Chromebooks. Then they worked on having two tabs open at once. They were also able to talk with their classmates who are learning from home - lots of smiling and waving! Students then were able to review scientific variables and asked questions as they came up. Our 7th graders closed out their class with a rousing game on kahoot to apply what they learned about in regards to scientific variables. The competition was fierce! Mrs. Tadlock loved seeing all of her students in class and online today! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
Don't forget...there is no school tomorrow! Have a great Thursday....and we will see you again on Monday, Mustangs!
