Way to make us #MustangProud -- to our 2nd and 3rd graders in Running Club! They are rocking it! These students are averaging 50 miles in each of their 45 minute running club sessions!!
Third grade students took their geometry to the streets! They took all the information they have learned about polygons, triangles and quadrilaterals to create incredible mosaic chalk art. This was an enjoyable and academic break from their Forward state testing.
Our 7th and 8th graders have an opportunity to be a part of the elective class: Entrepreneurship which gives students a taste of what it is like to run their own business. They work in groups to study the demographics of a market, develop product ideas, make a plan and present it for approval to staff members. The entrepreneurs then bring their item(s) to market by creating and selling their products to students and staff. The sale is an exciting day and we are excited to announce that special day is tomorrow!
Items for sale range in price from $1-$2. BMS students wanting to purchase in this sale will be given the opportunity by their teachers to visit the sale at varying times on April 12th.
Proceeds from this sale will be put into the student activities fund that helps to support activities and events for all students at both schools.
Hurry and get your seats before the show starts at 6 at the middle school! Thank you to the Brookwood PTO for this fun free family event tonight!! Here are a couple of pictures from this afternoons show that was put on for our students at our elementary school.
In the 7th/8th grade elective course: arduino programming, students build a variety of circuit while also writing the program's function with the circuit. Each circuit and program perform a specific function, everything from lighting up LED lights, to controlling servos, to playing different sounds, and displaying information on a lcd screen. Students need to pay close attention to the program they write because a single error will cause the entire program to not function. Arduino programming is typically a class taught at the high school level, but the class is available to Brookwood students who have successfully completed the learn to code programming class.

Last week, our 4th graders spent a chilly afternoon at the Seno K/RLT Conservancy in Burlington, WI. They learned about Maple Sugaring and Native American History. The traditions of maple sugaring have long been a part of Wisconsin’s history for many centuries. This program focused on the process of making maple syrup and the rich Native American history behind this tradition. Students also had lessons on tree identification, how to properly tap a maple tree, the process of sap-to-syrup, and traditional sugaring techniques.
You can BEE anything you BEE-lieve in yourself to BEE.
2nd graders dug into different groups of jobs along with skills/attributes needed for those jobs. After some research and discussion, students picked a job they thought describes them best right now.
