Students in first grade have been working hard on their addition strategies! Students practiced their doubles facts by making a flip book and playing a doubles dice game. Doubles aren't trouble for these sharp first graders! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
During our BES P.E. classes, our K-3rd graders have been working on rolling, throwing, and catching skills both virtually and in person. They have been experimenting with different implements and targets. So far, the pool noodle has been the implement of choice. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

This week, the students at BES enjoyed playing the Boomwhackers. They learned that long Boomwhackers sound lower than short ones. They learned how to play and care for the instruments properly and worked as a group to create a song. Our students had a great time learning and playing this week in music class! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
