This year in social studies, our fourth graders learn about Utah and it's history.  These past few days, we have been studying the regions of Utah and it's landscape.  We have talked about mountains, rivers, plateaus, deserts and much more.  To bring our learning to an end, students were able to create edible maps of Utah to show some of this features. Students were given a graham cracker, frosting, chocolate chips and licorice and they create Utah.  Student had fun creating this and enjoyed the fruits of their labor.

November 14th was Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. To celebrate this day our Student Council promoted this day and encouraged students to wear purple and walk to school to remember the important events and steps taken to end segregation in some US schools in the 1960s. Students were decked out in purple and had a chance to spin our prize wheel for some commemorative swag! Way to go student council!

We celebrated Veterans today. We started by decorating the front of our school with flags and poppies. Students learned about Veterans and Flanders Field. We held an assembly to honor our heros. We are so grateful to all our service men and women who have served and is serving. We thank you for defending our freedom.

Our 5th Grade students did a fantastic job on their Wax Museum Biography Project. Students selected a biography to read about a famous and influential American. They then took notes and completed an informational booklet about their chosen person.

This past Tuesday, Brookside Elementary celebrate Halloween. Students and teachers dressed up to celebrate the holiday.  Each class had a party where games were played, crafts were made and everyone had a lot of fun.  We hope everyone had a very happy holiday.  Here are just a few photos capturing the fun.

Our class talked about the lifecycle of a butterfly.  We had a chance to observe caterpillars turn into a chrysalis, then watch the butterflies emerge.
