Brookwood Elementary School

These third graders are presenting Wasp Traps that they made to our GCJ2 Facilities Manager, Bill Erickson, for use around the district grounds. The traps were constructed during their Science class under the direction of our BES science teacher Melissa Bobula! They were constructed to be entirely environmentally-friendly to be put around our grounds at our schools. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

Virtual Elementary School Families can pick up their regularly scheduled virtual learning supplies after 9:00 am on Monday mornings. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your child's homeroom teacher.

In reading, Kindergarteners in Ms. Flood's class are learning about sharing their thinking about books. They put a post-it note on a favorite page that made them feel something, that they thought was interesting, that reminded them of something, etc. They then share that page with their reading partner. While doing this activity, they're also working on finger strength, which will help with their writing. Using playdough and working with post-it notes are a few awesome and fun ways to strengthen their fingers! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

Way to work hard, Mustangs!! Today was the first day of word study for our 3rd graders. Students learned about the prefix "re-" and had to come up with four words that matched that pattern. Afterwards students took turns book shopping to find a book they love and even were able to virtually share about the books they are reading with some of their virtual classmates. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
