March 2014

After the first week of collecting "Pennies for Patients" to support the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Brockbank students have raised $915. The winning class for the first week is Mrs. Alexandra Dedrickson's fifth-grade class, they brought in the most change out of all the other classes. Monday the contest started over and there is still 2 weeks left, so keep bringing in your change. Money earned will be used to care for patients and to help with research.

To help celebrate Dr. Seuss Day, Mrs. Amberly Kariuki's kindergarten class read the book, "Green Eggs and Ham". "Do you like green eggs and ham?" After reading the book students then got to eat "green eggs". What a fun way to celebrate a great author!

On March 3, Brockbank Elementary celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday by doing several art and reading activities throughout the day. At the end of the day students enjoyed a read-a-thon. In some cases younger grade students were matched with older grade students and they would read together. Celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday is a great way to get students motivated and excited to read!

Brockbank first grade students in Mrs. Lisa Bird's class for Dr. Seuss' Birthday along with other activites, read the book, "Fox in Socks". After reading the book they answered the quesiton, "My Super Sock Power Is...?" The students then for their writing assignment wrote down what there super sock does. There were some very interesting responses. One student wrote "My super sock power is when I put them on they make candy! My socks make candy all day" It was a fun way to learn and use their imagination!

Brockbank is happy to announce the Hansen Heroes for February. Hansen Heroes are students that make good choices and set good examples for their classmates!
