We love Technology!!!
Miss Sahlin's class loves adding to their classroom blog using the Chromebooks acquired through grants from the Nebo Education Foundation, school funds and contributions made on DonorsChoose.org.
Using Kidblog.org allows students to respond to each other and comment on one another's posts. The kids love it!!!

Fifth Grade Scientists
The fifth graders received a visit from the Discovery Gateway Museum on Monday, September 14, 2015. Phill Evans came to teach the students about chemical and physical changes in an assembly called Reaction Time. The students loved the assembly and then they even got to participate by conducting a hands on lab. The students mixed liquids and solids to discover what combination would result in a chemical reaction.

Book Talk Tuesday
Hey Brookside Bookworms! If you love books and you love to talk about them as much as I do then I challenge you to read a book from my all new Principal's Library in my office. Starting next week, September 21st to be exact. Before school, students can come to my back door which is across from Mrs. Bird's class in the 3rd grade hall. But be prepared and forewarned....if you check out a book from me I expect you to write up a Book Talk that I can hang on my office wall and put your Talk here on Tuesdays. Yeah!!
The book I'm reading this week is: Circus Mirandus
Psst...this book is not even in our school library yet so be the first to read it (besides me, of course)
If you like magic, fantasy, adventure, friendships, and love of family then this is a book you'll enjoy. My favorite quote in chapter 16 is by grandpa to Micah, "just be yourself and that's more than enough. "
I'll see you next Monday from 8:30-8:55.

The 2nd graders got a surprise visitor!
Brookside 2nd graders have been reading stories about Henry and Mudge. Henry is a little boy and Mudge is his dog. On Tuesday, September 8th our 2nd Graders had a very special visitor. It wasn't Mudge, but it was a four legged friend. Dr. Stapel brought his poodle to school. Her name is Kista Noelle Stapel. She is a very cute and talented dog. She came to show off her many tricks. Kista had a lot of fun as she showed off all of the things she can do.

5th Grade Colony Balloon Fun!
The fifth graders were learning about the thirteen original colonies in social studies. Students were asked to research a colony and then, together, as groups of two or three, they created a colony balloon and presented their findings to the class. They had so much fun and they turned out great!

Visiting Mrs. Broussard's class
What a fun day to drop in on Mrs. Broussard. She was teaching students how they can recognize how others make them feel. But even better she taught them how to make themselves feel better when they get their feelings hurt. The students were so excited about the experiments and so engaged in the book and activity.
