A Wonderful Day in Nature at Seno K/RLT Conservancy!
Our 4K students and families enjoyed a wonderful day exploring nature at Seno Conservancy! 🌿🍎 It was a special opportunity to learn, discover, and make memories together while engaging all five senses.
Throughout the day, children pressed apples (and we drank apple cider too), created corn husk dolls, collected seeds, and enjoyed a story hike filled with fun and engaging stories. From discovering treasures in nature to listening, touching, smelling, seeing, and experiencing the world around us, there was so much to explore!
One of the best parts of the day was having our families join us for these hands-on adventures. Learning together, enjoying the outdoors, and connecting with nature made this trip a memorable experience for everyone.
A big thank-you to Seno Conservancy and all the families who joined us for a fun-filled day of learning, laughter, and outdoor exploration! 🍂🌻

Who knew learning about bugs could be this fun? 🐛 Our second graders spent the day at the Welty Environmental Center becoming real entomologists!
They read a book about what makes an insect an insect, then learned the parts of an insect through a song. After that, they put insect mouths to the test: a birthday blower became a butterfly's proboscis, a sponge game showed how sponging mouths work, and a piercing-sucking mouth activity had everyone buzzing.
Then they hiked through the woods and found some amazing insects: worms, spiders, and a bald-faced hornet getting ready to hibernate for winter- just a few of the things we spotted! 🐝🌲
We were very proud of our curious scientists!

First-grade students have been working hard on their first literacy unit all about maps! These young cartographers have been reading books about maps and learning about the important parts of a map, including keys, labels, and symbols. Over the past few weeks, students have created maps of houses, neighborhoods, our school, city, and state. They will wrap up the unit by mapping North America!
Students have had so much fun learning about where they live, the different regions of the United States, how weather can vary from place to place, and so much more. We are proud of all their hard work and can’t wait to see their final map books come together!

Welcome to the Mustang Family! Dan Farrell -- BMS Cleaner --Genoa City Jt. 2 School District.
Please help us welcome Dan Farrell to our Brookwood staff! Dan moved from Kenosha to Pell Lake about a year ago. He's really excited about the community, fishing in Pell Lake, and this new opportunity at Brookwood! He's really enjoying how welcoming the staff is and how fun the kids have been to work with. Dan has 2 adult children, Abby (27) & Zach (25). His youngest just moved out last year, so Dan is officially an empty-nester. When he's not working, Dan enjoys music-some country, but mostly classic rock and metal. He likes watching football and baseball and doesn't follow any one team-he has lots of favorites. In fact, he cheers for both the Bears and Packers, so this next game should be loud! He enjoys the Cubs and has been down to Wrigley Field. He's always surprised to run into someone that he knows while visiting Chicago.

Third graders had the opportunity last week to go to Badger High School for their Ag Science day. They got to discover how science, agriculture, and technology work together to help us understand where our food comes from and how we care for the world around us. 🌎💚
From exploring plants and animals to learning about farming, food production, and the science behind agriculture, our students are growing their knowledge in some pretty exciting ways! 🌱✨
We love seeing our Mustangs learn, explore, ask questions, and make real-world connections! 💙🤍

Second graders will visit the Welty Environmental Center in Beloit on Thursday, October 15th to build their knowledge about bugs and insects! This hands-on experience will help prepare students for our second reading unit, where we focus on nonfiction reading and explore the fascinating world of bugs. Students will use what they learn on the field trip to strengthen their understanding of informational texts throughout the unit.
Last week, our 7th and 8th graders had an exciting opportunity to explore careers in the skilled trades at the Build My Future field trip! Students experienced hands-on activities, interacted with
industry professionals, and learned about career pathways in
fields like construction and the trades. Experiences like this help
students discover interests, connect classroom learning to the
real world, and begin imagining possibilities for their futures. You
never know what experience might spark a student's future
career! See more pictures and videos from this experience here:
