Students in Mrs. Kanthack’s 4-5 Science studied fossil formation and identification in their unit on Soils, Rocks and Landforms. They learned how to use the Claim, Evidence and Reasoning model for developing critical thinking and writing skills. They were totally amazed at these great samples and how they formed! #BrookwoodsBest

Mrs. Goggin’s 2nd grade class looks forward to reading to their 4K reading buddies in Mrs. Conrardy’s class. The students gather every month to read together. Second graders choose books at their level to read to 4K students. The 4K students love being read to and it gives the second graders a chance to really let their reading skills shine. They have been great leaders for their 4K reading buddies, and it’s fun to see relationships building among the grade levels. #BrookwoodsBest

Students in 6th grade science used simple supplies to make transverse wave machines. With the help of skewers, duct tape, and gummy bears, students were able to describe how waves move through a medium as well as adjust a variety of wave properties like amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. #BrookwoodsBest

During Brookwood Kindness Week, our 3rd grade students loaded busses and headed to help package meals for hungry children in other countries. On this particular day, the meals we prepared were for children in Haiti. We successfully packed 163 boxes equaling 35,208 meals - feeding 97 children for a year! What an amazing experience for our students to be a part of! #BrookwoodsBest

Students at the elementary school spent the week of January 27th celebrating Brookwood Kindness Week. During this week students were involved in a variety of cross curriculum kindness activities, dress up days and service projects. In addition, students who showed acts of kindness received kindness slips that are displayed on our kindness board. This week was the kick off to February, kindness month! During the month of February we are running a Mac Attack (mac and cheese) drive to benefit the Walworth County Pantry. Students are learning about childhood hunger and are so excited about donating mac and cheese to help other children. Also this month students will participate in classroom kindness challenges and continue to earn kindness slips. Outside of school, students are working on their kindness calendar that can be turned in once 20+ acts of kindness have been achieved. #BrookwoodsBest

This year during Brookwood Kindness Week, our 2nd grade students partnered with the Walworth County Food Pantry in putting together the 150 SAM (Senior Assistance Mission) bags to help the seniors living in poverty in Walworth County. The bags include health and safety needs of a senior. 2nd grade students were taught about what a senior citizen is and why their needs are unique. Students also talked about how our the elderly often are faced with loneliness. 2nd and 3rd grade students worked hard to create 150 Valentines Day cards to be placed in each SAM bag. The students learned a lot about putting themselves in the shoes of a senior citizen and said they felt so good when they would complete each bag, knowing it was helping a senior in their community. #BrookwoodsBest
