Students in the elective class Science in Real Life learned about the basics of force and motion. Then they applied their knowledge to create an egg drop apparatus to keep an egg safe from impact when dropped from various heights. Two eggs survived a drop from over 7 meters! Eggcellent job, students! #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

Mr. Siegel loves being able to share his enthusiasm of learning with his students and one resource he uses often with his students are audiobooks.
Audiobooks offer a wide array of benefits! Not only is it a great way for students to access various genres of literature but this resource also allows students to enjoy books that are above their own reading levels that may be difficult for them to read in a traditional read to self setting. He likes using audiobooks with students to teach critical listening skills, model interpretive reading, and to introduce new genres to students that students might not otherwise consider.
Check out some audiobooks for yourself. Many are available for check out from the Genoa City Library www.genoacity.lib.wi.us and there are other free resources online. https://bookriot.com/2016/09/15/11-websites-find-free-audiobooks-online/
Enjoy listening! #BrookwoodsBest

Desert and Rainforests are some pretty cool terrestrial environments! At least that is what the 4th and 5th graders in Mrs. Erickson's science class think. Students worked in groups to create a 2D poster of what a desert or a rainforest looks like, including living and nonliving things, climate, and soil or sand. They then presented their posters to the class. They all did an amazing job. Students are creating terrariums, observing them, and then taking them home! #BrookwoodsBest
A group of our Brookwood Family Organization (BFO) board members (formally known as the PTO) headed out bright and early to an expo event today! Join in on the next meeting to hear all about it! #BrookwoodsBest

First graders in Mrs. Hanson’s class have been working hard writing nonfiction teaching books. Students selected topics they knew a lot about and wrote a lot of pages to teach others about their topic. As students wrapped up their first teaching books, they had the opportunity to present their books on Seesaw. Students recorded themselves reading their books and published their work on Seesaw to share with their classmates and families. #BrookwoodsBest
oday’s BMS school spelling bee. We can’t wait for Monday (1/27) because our final four will be competing for the top spots at 8 am. Stay tuned for the winners!!! #BrookwoodsBest
Students in seventh grade use a learning platform called Edmodo to make posts about literature circle novels they read. Students are able to post connections, questions, and comments to the group while reading nightly. They are also able to reply to other posts in order to answer questions and build off of the group's comments. The students are essentially able to manage and run a book club through communication within Edmodo while supporting one another in and out of the classroom with the teacher being zoned into what they are doing and discussing.
