Yesterday, our first grade students had an amazing time at Traxside exploring sound, wavelengths, gravity, and friction in such an interactive and hands-on environment. Even though some students had a few falls along the way, they kept pushing through, practicing, and showing their determination. It was incredible to see their personalities shine as they supported one another, had fun dancing, and sang along to the music. It was a day full of learning, laughter, and teamwork, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Hello Brookwood Elementary families! We’ve set a goal to create a community of lifesavers by getting everyone to take Finn’s Mission and learn Hands-Only CPR. When given immediately, it can double (even triple) a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. If you haven’t done it yet, take Finn’s Mission today to learn this life saving skill. http://www2.heart.org/goto/BrookwoodGenoaCity

Our 2nd graders are now bug experts! Throughout their last reading unit, they learned all about bugs. They had the opportunity to have a Bug Expert video chat with them and give them lots of cool information about bugs. Throughout the unit, they chose a bug and researched all about them. They used many text features throughout their book that they were learning in class. Students used graphic organizers to write a rough and final draft. They also drew pictures to go along with each of the research questions. Ask our 2nd graders all about their bugs!
Brookwood Elementary KHC UPDATE! 89 students have joined our school’s team already. Mrs. Himmelspach's class is in the lead with 14 students registered online. Way to go! Visit our school page at
