Recently Brockbank fourth-grade students spent the part of the morning learning about the scientific process and then used that knowledge while exploring fossils and dinosaur bones brought to Brockbank by the Natural History Museum. Fourth-graders agree science is fun!
Brockbank fourth-graders recently had the opportunity to go on a field trip to, This Is The Place Heritage Park. There students were able to take part in a ‘hands-on learning’ experience that complements the state curriculum for fourth-grade Utah History. Students participated in "life in Pioneer Times" which consisted of pushing a handcart. The students discovered what it was like to come West with a handcart.
This week Brockbank is spotlighting Mrs. Susan Johnson and Mrs. Kandra Steinfeldt. Mrs. Susan Johnson is a speech therapist at Brockbank. She and her husband live in Springville and have two sons and three daughters (only one is still at home).

Some of her favorites are the color purple, M&M's, chips & salsa, nachos, the Utah Jazz, movies - "Blind Side" & "Hitch", listening to the Beatles and James Taylor, and eating at the Bombay House.
October 4, Brockbank Elementary participated in Jumpstart's national campaign to Read for the Record, where students were encouraged to read the children’s book "Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad", by David Soman and Jacky Davis. Jumpstart’s mission is to work towards the day that every child in America enters school prepared to succeed. They are shooting to break the record for the most number of students joining in the shared reading of the book. Last year the record was over 2 million people. Brockbank had two books donated to our school, one by the Governor and the other by Mr.
Each month, Brockbank students and staff hold a safety drill. Most often, that drill is a fire drill. Students evacuate the building, line up along the West fence, and teachers account for each student to make sure everybody got out safely. Any students in specialty classes (such as reading tutoring, speech, resource, computers, art, PE, etc.) would go outside with the adult they were currently with and report to their regular classroom teacher once outside. We also hold drills where students stay inside the building. These drills are our earthquake drills and lockdown drills.
Brockbank Spotlights this week are Mrs. Whitney Munns and Curtis Harrison.
