In 6th grade science, students have started a new unit about thermal energy which investigates how different cups can keep liquid from warming up or cooling down. They started their exploration of that phenomenon with a lab that tested how quickly ice water in a double-layered plastic cup and in a single-layered plastic cup increased in temperature over time. Now the students are tasked with focusing on modifying one feature of the cup to investigate if their change will keep the water colder the longest.
Students in this picture are experimenting with thermometers to see how they can alter the temperature using their hands.
Thank you to all of the Veterans and community members that came out to today’s Veterans Day Program. We are truly thankful for all those who have served.
6th graders used the online game Bamboozled as a fun way to practice synonyms and antonyms. Students worked in groups and worked together to answer the questions. There were hidden perks embedded into the game like taking points away from other teams and randomly earning points. Make sure to ask your 6th grader about this fun activity they worked on in class!

At the end of October, Mrs. Bullock who teaches K-3rd & 6th grade music, 6th-8th grade choir, Drama, and Personal Finance, attended the Wisconsin Music Educators Conference in Madison. She was one of the presenters for Informal Music Making and Technology in the Classroom. Mrs. Bullock shared things she has created as an educator to enhance her teaching, as well as projects created by students. Recent student-created projects include: a sixth grade project, Red Fish Blue Fish, performed with beats he created himself using BandLab, the chance composition project created by Mrs. Nast's 21/22 third grade class, and William's Winter Nap - which was narrated by the drama class with sound effects added by Mrs. Johnson's second grade using classroom instruments. Conferences provide a great opportunity to network and gain new approaches and ideas to use in the classroom. Mrs. Bullock is already implementing some of the new things she learned! Way to share your greatness, Mrs. Bullock!! We are #MustangProud of you and so thankful you are part of the Brookwood Family!

Brynn is currently in Rionegro, Columbia and is wrestling on November 5 for the U.S. U15 Pan American Team at the Pan American Wrestling Championships. She is the lone representative from Wisconsin and is one of 10 girls representing the United States.
Brynn has traveled all over the country to wrestle, this will be her first time wrestling outside the U.S.
Brynn says, “I’m very excited because I have not been out of the states before. I feel appreciated to represent the U.S. at this young age.”
While it will be an experience in and of itself traveling to another country, Brynn still has one thing on her mind and that is to win.
“I want to get my hand raised and to take first place,” she said.
Please help us cheer Brynn on and send her and her family #MustangPride vibes for her big competition tomorrow!!
