Miss Harmon's Second grade class created a class thankful list. We got the idea from reading one of the books from our favorite series: Junie B. Jones. In Junie B. Jones: Turkeys we have loved and eaten (and other thankful stuff), Junie B.'s class made a class thankful list so we decided we needed to make one of our own too. 

Over the last couple weeks, the first graders have been learning about bugs and insects. Today they had a special guest, Mike Whiting, who’s an entomologist come and visit. He brought his beetle and butterfly collection! The kids loved it and were so excited about every bug he had to show. Thank you Mike!!

Aubree Forbes picked up trash at recess, Marlie Skinner she helped a classmate who needed help on their assignment, Reed McFerson always is helpful and always ready to learn, Jak Elner has a attitude of gratitude, always saying thank you, Sawyer Grover was thoughtful as he performed several acts of kindness, Brynn Jones shows me she is on task and ready to learn everyday, Wesley Martin has been working hard on his math assignments.

Our friend this week is Mr. Randall Jex.  He is our head custodian. He helps to keep our school neat and clean.  He loves the kiddos and it’s fun to see him interact with all the students.  Thanks, Mr. Jex for making the school the best it can be!

We are so grateful for Mrs. Evans and all her work in helping with Fall Choir.  These worked hard every week to learn their songs and did an amazing job with their performance.  Thank you to Mrs. Gallagher for accompanying the choir.

We were excited to welcome author Brandon Mull on Wednesday, November 20. He has written several books including Fablehaven, Spirit Animals, Five Kingdoms, the Beyonders and his newest series Dragonwatch. He shared stories and experiences about his writing experiences. 

He started by playing The Imagination Game. He had three volunteers come up and helped him come up with a situation and helped create a story. He said, using details and description helps a reader visit some amazing places and have amazing experiences. 

It’s Teacher Tuesday and our teacher this week is Mrs. BrynLee Pickering.  Mrs. Pickering is a first grade teacher and her students love her.  She always has a smile on her face and is always concerned about others.  We love having Mrs. Pickering her at Brookside!

What do you love to do on the weekend: “I love to visit my family, go out to eat, and shop!”

On Monday, November 18, our fifth graders held their annual wax museum. The students did an amazing job and performed for the school and for parents. To prepare, the students read a biography about a famous American and took notes. Then they wrote and memorized a speech about their American. The students were also asked to create a poster about their American to hang on the wall behind them. Mrs. Smith, Miss White and Miss Bird (the fifth grade teachers) are so proud of all these fifth grade. The were amazing!!
