In honor of Dr.Seuss' birthday The Cat in the Hat, Thing 1, and Thing 2 came to Brockbank to entertain first-graders. They sang and danced for the students and then the Cat in the Hat read the book, "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss. The first-graders really enjoyed having them come and visit.
March 2, Brockbank Elementary celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday by doing several art and reading activities throughout the day and by having a school wide read-a-thon where students could silently read any book of their choice. Throughout the week teachers put names in a drawing of students in their class displaying good behavior or excellent work. Each morning winners were drawn to win either a Dr. Seuss Book or a $5 coupon to the upcoming book fair. Celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday is a great way to get students motivated and excited to read!

Recently the junior high schools held their job shadow day. Seventh-graders had the opportunity to go to work with a parent or someone and job shadow them for the day. Brockbank was lucky to have several students come to our school and do their job shadow. Kylie Eichler from Diamond Fork Junior High and Jessica Mitchell from Spanish Fork Junior each helped in the office at Brockbank for their job shadow. It was fun to have these two former students come and help out and hopefully they learned something about working in an office.
Recently five wives of local dentists came to Brockbank as part of the Dental Alliance to educate first-graders about the importance of brushing their teeth and oral hygiene. To make it a fun learning experience they put on a fun puppet show for the students.
Brockbank students showed their creativity and artistic talents by creating Valentine boxes. There were some very creative boxes and it was fun to see all the different ways students use their imagination.
Brockbank librarian, Mrs. Peggy Rothaug just finished hosting a book club for grades 3-6. Students interested signed up and then names were drawn to see who would be in the book club. Because of the availability of books it was limited to 10 students from each grade, each grade read a different book. One day a week during the students lunch hour they would meet in the library, students were given approximately three weeks to read the book. To get the students excited they watched trailers about the book.
