Welcome to Brockbank

We were so excited to have the Suzanne Kimball, Associate Superintendent of Nebo School District visit our school! She walked through the halls and visited classrooms. We were honored to have her take time out of her busy schedule to come and visit us!
Life in Future Training
Friday, September 16, we had our first BFF lesson, BFF stands for Brockbank Friends and Family! We had a lesson on the L.I.F.T (Life in Future Training) process. Learn a skill, Set a goal, Do the reps, Track your progress. We had Kayla Labrum (power lifter) come to our school and teach us all about reps. How she had to start small and gradually add more weight and more reps over time. By doing the reps, we can get better the more we practice with any skill we are trying to accomplish.

Loveland Living Planet Aquarium Visits Brockbank
On September 12th, the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium came to Brockbank second graders. It was a fun experience for the students to learn about different habitats that are found throughout the world. The visiting group not only taught us about animals, but even brought some for everyone to look at. The students were able to see and touch a Madagascar Cockroach, a rainforest tree frog, and a giant cockroach. It was great to see the students engaged in their learning with such excitement! Thank you Loveland Living Planet Aquarium for visiting our second grade!
Music is in the Air
For the next few weeks, you might see a new face around…….Or hear some piano being played before school! Meet Laura Brockbank! She’s a Nebo District BTS Arts Integration Specialist in Music (whew, what a long title!) This means that for the next 6 weeks, she will be working with classroom teachers on using MUSIC to teach other subjects (like math, spelling, writing, science, etc.) She is very excited to be at our school!
Fourth Grade STEM Challenge
Mrs. Kariuki’s class participated in a Fun Friday STEM challenge. They tried the Pringles Ring Challenge and it was so fun! Mrs. Kariuki said she has never done this one before, and was worried they might not be able to do it. But of course they did! These kids are rockstars! Congrats to Hazel, Giovanna, and Milly for completing the challenge! There were other teams that were so close.
