Milkweed Bug Changes!

Our milkweed bugs have become adults!
We discovered that the milkweed bug goes through a different life cycle than our other insects. Their life cycle only has three stages: egg, nymph, adult.
When they hatch from their eggs, they are called nymphs. They look like the adults, just a lot smaller.

David Stokes Visits Brookfield Elementary School!

We had so much fun learning from David Stokes when he came to Brookfield Elementary School! He shared funny songs, silly facts and lots of great information about insects.
We even got to look at and touch a lot of insects-both real and pretend!


















Fire Safety

Firefighters from the City of Brookfield came to school to help us learn about fire safety.
Does your family have a meeting place outside?
Remember to practice your fire escape routes at home, just like we do at school.
