One cool thing Brookside has that some other schools don’t is the Buddy Bench.  I think it’s cool because people who don’t have friends can make friends. The Buddy Bench also makes the people who ask them to play feel good too.  It also makes people look forward to recess. That’s one reason why Brookside is a good school.

In Miss Bird’s fifth grade enrichment, we worked on problem solving by creating taco trucks.  We started by designing our logo and what our truck would look like. We created menus, took orders and added prices.  Then, we constructed our taco trucks.

In Miss Bird’s fifth grade class, we have been talking about chemical changes.  We found out that a chemical change is when ingredients are combined and the result is a completely new substance and that it is not reversible.  We have been doing a few experiments in our class. In one we combined the reactants (ingredients) of water, baking soda, laundry detergent, and vinegar.  The product was that we created a lot of foam. Another experiment was that we grew salt crystals. We combined the reactants of bluing, water, salt and a borax solution.

Congrats to our very own sixth grader, Samantha Rigtrup who was honored as the Utah Valley Student of the Week in the Daily Herald.  Samantha is a great example in our school.  She is on the student council, she works hard and looks out for everyone.  She always has a great attitude and works her hardest in everything she does.  Way to go Samantha!

We want to congratulate Mr. Anderson who was honored as the Utah Valley Educator of the Week.  Mr. Anderson is a second grade teacher who does an amazing job with his class and all the students at Brookside.

Lili Bauer helped get a project ready for another student to take home, Paula Gomez helped another student get her project ready to take home, Michael Milian always has fun ideas to help the class stay on task and have fun, Rhett Morrison came right in and put chairs down for everyone, Katelyn Dickson has read over 100 minutes for the last 4 weeks, and Allie Dickson has been so respectful walking in the hall.

We were so excited to welcome all our dads, grandparents, moms, aunts, uncles, friends and neighbors who came and read with their students this morning.  It was an amazing turnout for our annual dads and donuts. There were families everywhere throughout our building sharing stories and reading to one another.  It was an awesome sight!

National School Breakfast Week is coming up on March 4-8.  We will have a coloring contest and also prizes for kids who find a sticker on their tray.
