Brookwood Elementary Families:
We are so excited for our final celebration and school wide picnic on June 2nd. The picnic will run from 11:00am-12:00pm in the playground area. If you plan on joining us, please gather outside the main doors lining the sidewalk. We will be having our 3rd grade take their final walk through the halls and exit the building through the main office doors to the receiving line of family and well wishers. Following the 3rd grade parade, all other classes will get their lunches and meet in the playground area. You can meet your child/children there.
If you plan on taking your BES student home with you following the picnic, make sure you check out with your child's homeroom teacher. They will have your report cards for you at check out. Following checkout at 12:00, families can enter the building and pick up their child's belongings from their cubbies prior to leaving and starting Summer Break.
If you cannot join us for the celebration please note, there is no scheduled 4k programming on June 2nd and school will be dismissed for k-3rd at 12:25 on June 2nd.
I wish you all a great summer and thank you for your support throughout the school year.

June 1st: Last Day of 4K Programming.
4K students are welcome to come back to the all school picnic with their family on June 2nd from 11-12 in the playground area.
The afternoon proved to be very special as well at BMS. The 4th graders presented their state projects for the entire school. They worked really hard researching a state and were able to share important information about that state with any student who stopped by and inquired. These students also had an opportunity to prepare food or drink that would traditionally be associated with their state. Not only did these students learn about their state, but learned how to present material on a poster board. They learned how to place information to be aesthetically pleasing as well as easy to read. All ELA grammar rules were applied. It was such a great learning experience for all of our Mustangs.
What a fun morning at BMS!! After a couple of years of taking a break from our Folk Fair, the World Language classes hosted their Culture Fair on Friday morning. Students in grades 6, 7 & 8 researched a country of interest, created a game for kids to play that was based on the research, as well as prepared either food, a flyer, or artwork that the guests received when they visited the exhibit. Any students who were not directly involved in the culture fair were able to participate in the event. These participants also carried passports to get signed as they visited each country.
TODAY is the 3rd grade Market Day! We hope to see our 3rd grade parents on site today from 2-3:15 to check out what your child has made for their Market Day projects. Check out these commercials that showcase our amazing entrepreneurs!
What is Market Day?
Market Day is an awesome learning experience for our third graders. In social studies we have been studying Producers and Consumers, and Saving and Spending. Students have created their own businesses with a handmade product. They have worked on supply costs, marketing and production.
On Market Day, students set up their stands and sell their products. Every student and teacher will receive 10 Apple Bucks on their way in and they can purchase whatever products they want. Yes, this is real life products, but not real money. Students have art work, crafts, slime, etc. It's like a farmers market set up and students are allowed to walk through and check out all the products.
