Brookside's Fall Fest was a huge hit this weekend! Thank you to our PTO, families and teachers who made this event a special one! #BESTatBrookside
Mrs. Oldak’s Kindergarteners are really enjoying Reading Workshop time. They are learning how to put a “pinch of me” in their stories as they read, use sticky notes to mark pages that made them think of their own lives, and practice reading like a teacher! #BESTatBrookside
Fourth graders practice making arrays with math manipulatives to help them multiply! #BESTatBrookside
First graders are also working hard during the Writing Workshop to write their Small Moment Stories. We learned that first we think, sketch, then write. They are bringing their characters to life by making them think, feel, and speak! #BESTatBrookside
4th Graders in Ms. Acosta and Ms. Santaella's class are working hard on drafting realistic stories! These awesome authors were brave enough to share their writing to the class using our fancy author microphone! #BESTatBrookside
First graders at Brookside are adding lots of strategies to their math toolbox. We can use number lines, cubes, counters, and ten-frames to help join groups together! #BESTatBrookside
