Brockbank Elementary celebrated "A Grand Green Morning" on Friday, March 11. It was the kick-off for the annual spring book fair hosted by the PTA. Students were able to invite anyone they thought was "grand" to the book fair and if they wore green they were given a book mark. Students were also asked if they had a book that was still in good condition they could bring it in and put their name in a drawing for book fair bucks to spend at the book fair. Along with reading good books the students and their guests were able to enjoy doughnuts and milk.

March 2, Brockbank Elementary celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday by doing several art and reading activities throughout the day and by having a read-a-thon where students could silently read any book of their choice. Celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday is a great way to get students motivated and excited to read!

Brockbank sixth-graders recently participated in a science fair. Students learned about the scientific process and were then challenged to go home and conduct an experiment that answered a scientific question. The sixth-grade teachers were amazed at the quality of work done by the students. The students worked really hard on their projects. Parents and students from younger grades had the opportunity to go into the gym and look at the projects and ask questions.

Brockbank kindergarteners recently held their, "Bring your Teddy Bear to school day". Students had the opportunity to bring their favorite teddy bear or other stuffed animal to school to spend the day in class learning and playing with them. One activity they did together was playing math games and eating teddy grahams. When it was time for the students to go home, the teddy bears got to stay and have a slumber party at school. The next day when the students came to school they found out that their animals had made a mess in their learning centers.

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.
