Last week kindergarten students talked about apples and how to be a good friend. They had apple snacks. They tasted apples with caramel and sprinkles, apple oat bars, apple sauce, and apple juice. They read Apple Books and did lots of activities centered around apples. Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Farr discovered they have matching Apple shirts!
Nebo School District’s 9th Annual Elementary Keyboarding Competition was held recently for 5th grade students in the district. Students were tested by their school's keyboarding specialist to qualify to participate, in order to qualify they had to be able to type 50+ wpm.
At Brockbank we have a program where deserving students earn "Bronco Best" cards. Students earn this honor by being their BEST at Brockbank! They are doing their BEST when they are: Building a community that cares, Engaging in lifelong learning, Setting goals for growth and success, and Taking ownership for their actions.
In 5th grade this year, we are working on "Building a Community that Cares". During the first week of school all students in 5th grade were sorted into one of four Houses. Our Motto for 5th grade is: Four Houses, One Family. Students are learning to Be Humble, Be a Teamplayer, Lift Each Other Up, as well as Cheer Each Other On. On Friday, August 23rd we had the each of the houses play against each other in a game of Kickball. Today, August 30th, the two winning teams from last week played against each other, while the other houses cheered them on.
The Loveland Living Aquarium came and visited second grade students at Brockbank. They were able to learn about the rainforest and different animals that live there. They brought in a few animals for the students to see. They got to see a Madagascar hissing cockroach and a White tree frog. Students were able to touch a Ball Python named Miss America. Second grade students had a fun time learning with our aquarium friends.
Mrs. Farr's kindergarten students had so much fun last week learning about oceans and pirates and ended the week by reading The tortoise and the Hare and talking about not giving up and perseverance and how to be a good team player and cheerleader. They had turtle races and practiced being a good sport. They cheered everyone on! Plus they survived their first full week of school.
We were so happy to see all the smiling faces as students returned back to school. We were so thrilled and honored to have Lieutenant Brandon Anderson and Lieutenant Cade Harding from the Spanish Fork Police Department, come to help us welcome our students back to school! We are going to have a great school year!
