In fifth grade, we are learning about weathering and erosion.  We did a simple experiment to see how water affects a skittle or an M&M.  We learned that water will break down (weathering) the color and the letter on the piece of candy.  Then it will be washed away (erosion) with the water.

We celebrated Who-Ville hair on Thursday, February 28, 2019.  The halls at Brookside was filled with crasy and scary hair.  It was fun to see all the creative and fun ideas.  Mrs. Beckert even got in on the fun!

To celebrate Read Across America on Wednesday we focused on the book The Cat in the Hat.  We asked the students to wear stripes or a hat.  It was a fun day to see all the stripes and the fun hats.

We had the opportunity to have Mr. Todd Bradford, a district math specialist, come into classrooms this past week and work with students on various skills.  In Miss Bird’s fifth grade, he came in to solidify adding and subtracting fractions. The students love when Mr. Bradford come in to teach. Thanks, Mr. Bradford for a great lesson!

The students got to wear CRAZY socks.  We had a lot fun socks today. 

Tomorrow:  The Cat in the Hat, wear stripes, a hat or both!
