Throughout the month of December, Mrs. Gulbransen’s class has been learning about the Christmas holiday in different places around the world. Last week, we learned about Israel, and they celebrate Hanukkah. A tradition along with Hanukkah is to play a game called dreidel. Each student made their own dreidel  and were able to learn the symbols that went on the dreidel. We then played the game and tried to win the most skittles. It was a blast!

‘Twas the day before Christmas break and all through Brookside all the students were stirring in their best Christmas outfit and pajamas, too.  In the gym, they all gathered for one last assembly before the winter break. Each class sung a song and joined in a sing-a-long. As we tip-toed away for a long winter’s nap, the PTA gave each boy a girl an orange for their snack.  It has been a fun week. We hope each of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We’ll see y’all in 2019!

This December, we had the opportunity to have to concerts to listen to.  We started with the Springville Junior High School. They sang a few of our favorites and we even got to sing along with them.  We also heard from Mapleton Junior High orchestra and band. They played a few songs and allowed us to sing some carols with them.  Thank you to all who came to share their talents with us.

Kinder Calendar, Oh what fun! Our Christmas countdown has begun.  Kindergarten is learning all about calendars!

These students have been busy being very helpful and kind. Olivia Thorton, Ava Nielson, Craig Kovatch and Brigham Yeagley.

Students in Mrs. Graves' 4th grade class have been practicing hard to present the shortened version of Charles Dickens' classic tale, A Christmas Carol. It has got us all in the Christmas mood as we work together and share our talents with young and old. Merry Christmas!

It pays to read!  The kids have been reading at home to earn tickets for the "PAYS to READ" assembly.  At the assembly the kids played some fun games and some of the  kids took home money, candy and everyone that read this semester went home with a book!  Keep on reading!

Wednesday’s dress-up was Christmas socks and students were asked to donate gently used shoes.  This week has been so much fun. The students are really getting into the Christmas spirit. Tomorrow is wear red and green from head to toe.  And the service project is donating gently used toys.
