November 2019

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!!

Dear Parents,

Congratulations to our 5th graders who had a very successful Wax Museum activity today. It is always exciting to see them come dressed up and prepared to share. It was great having their posters up in the hallways for a couple of days to read and enjoy.

Mrs.  Smith's fifth grade class took some time last week to make some cards for our troops.

Talon Keith works really had to understand his math, Paytan Paxton stood up for a classmate, Ben Smith was very helpful the entire time in music, Layla Miller set up chairs in our classroom three days in a row, Brielle Churn picked up a lot of garbage, and David Carson helped another student with their assignment.

Praise worth acts make our school an awesome place to be. We think Brookside Students are the best!

Our friend this Friday is our school counselor, Ms. Andria Beckham.  This is her second here at Brookside. She teaches lessons to every class, talks with students, cares about everyone and promotes kindness. We love our counselor.

On the weekend, Mrs. Beckham loves to do anything outdoors! Hiking to a waterfall or camping or finding some sort of body of water to jump into. Outdoors is Her happy place and helps Her to be a better mother and counselor.

Fourth graders at Brookside know how to help keep our water clean. Just ask them!!! They enjoyed a storm drain presentation given by Jenny Devlin.

We had the privilege of honoring our Veteran’s yesterday in an assembly.  Mrs. Bradford invited a very special Veteran, her dad, and others to talk with the students about what a Veteran is and how we honor them.  The students honored these Veterans and members of their own families by singing a few patriotic songs and holding up pictures of these family members. We want to thank all the Veteran’s for their service.  

Our teacher this Tuesday is Mrs. Christina Broussard.  Mrs. B is a valuable part of our team here at Brookside.  In her first three years, she taught three different grades, finally settling in at Kindergarten. We love Mrs. B!

On the weekend, Mrs. B loves to go on adventures

If she could choose any fictional character to have lunch with, who would it be? Mrs. McGonagall from Harry Potter
