Surprise!

It was a fabulous surprise to have so many parents show up to help me celebrate the upcoming arrival of Baby Warner! What a special morning filled with great baby advice from the students, books and gifts for the baby. We are both so lucky to have the support of such a wonderful Brookfield Elementary community.

Thank You!

Exploring Solids

We have begun a new unit in science: Solids and Liquids!

We are currently observing the properties of solid objects. Although many things are considered "solids" they can be different in a lot of ways.

Fluency Center

Today we learned about a new literacy center called the Fluency Center.

At this center we have the chance to record ourselves reading familiar books. The best part is that we get to listen to the tapes and hear how we sound when we read!

First Snow of the Season

The first snowy recess is always fun.

Don't forget to bring your boots and snow pants!

Turkey Cookies

The day before Thanksgiving break, we joined our third grade buddies to make turkey cookies.

It was messy, a lot of fun and most of all delicious!

Painted Lady Eggs

For the first time some of our Brookfield Elementary Painted Lady Butterflies laid eggs!

We took a close look at Mrs. Rasmussen's class habitat and saw bright green butterfly eggs. Some of them had even hatched and we saw tiny little larva.

It was amazing!
