Brookwood Elementary School

Get ready....it's going to be good! #BrookwoodsBest

4th & 5th grade students are building and testing art robots during Mr. Granahan’s technology class as an introduction activity to their electrical unit. To be successful, students need to read and follow the provided directions. Mr. Granahan was able to use our districts 3d printer to make some of the material for these kits. Way to work hard and make us #MustangProud. #BrookwoodsBest

Don't forget those cold weather items during this chilly season! It's better to be prepared and bring them to school than to leave them and need them. #BrookwoodsBest

Check out this week's Be Brookwood winners at the elementary school! Congratulations to our students who were recognized for Being Kind, Being Safe, and Being Responsible. Great job Being Brookwood! #BrookwoodsBest

2nd and 3rd grade students have been working hard at their fitness testing the past few weeks in P.E. class. Students were given an assignment on Seesaw to reflect on their personal fitness scores and to come up with a personal goal for the year that they can work on outside of school. They will be revisiting this goal in the winter and spring. Students are familiar with uploading pictures and videos for different skills but this is the first time that they had to write using this program in P.E.. #BrookwoodsBest *More pictures on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/GenoaCitySchools/

The first grade classes have incorporated some play workshop time into their schedules this year, to help ease the transition from kindergarten to first grade. Students from Mrs. Jahn's class look forward to getting into groups for this less structured time and have been improving their skills in communication and cooperation. Way to work hard, Mustangs! #BrookwoodsBest

Recently, Mr. Guth accepted a check for $1,000 from Walmart Lake Geneva. Wellness is one of three key areas of focus for our district and we are looking forward to being able to use this grant money to enhance our student wellness programming! We are looking specifically at ways to add equipment to supplement recess options and to bring new opportunities for physical activity to our FREE Family Fun Night in January. This winter, we will be offering regular Family Open Gym time in January and February. During this time, our community will have access to both our Middle School Gym and our Fitness Center. We also offer year round Zumba and Yoga classes by certified instructors. We appreciate Lake Geneva Walmart's support in helping our students and their families stay active and well! #BrookwoodsBest
