Johnny the K kept the students singing and moving the entire show!
On November 7th, Brookside was treated to a special performance by Johnny the K. He was very entertaining, singing songs, playing guitar and wearing funny hats. He got the students and teachers actively involved in his show which taught the children the importance of kindness and respect. Alyssa and two other children were chosen to spin the giant Earth ball.
Alyssa and friends have the whole world in their hands.
Turning the world is hard work!
The students were “bananas” for his crazy hats!
He never stayed still….moving right into the audience! And they loved it!
Then on November 10th, Mrs. Riordan had the chance to read a very special story called But No Candy to the students in C8 and C9. This realistic fiction story was written by Gloria Houston and takes place during World War II. The children learned what that time period was like and learned about the sacrifices that veterans and their families made during wartime. They also learned that Veterans’ Day honors all veterans, not just the ones who died in war. I always enjoy sharing this story with the children. See if your child can retell the story to you.
I love reading to students!
Reminded me of my days as a children’s librarian!
We finished the week doing a hands-on math activity with number charts and numbered bottle caps. Who knew math could be so much fun? Speaking of math, we had two more students complete addition on Xtramath! Congratulations to our latest Xtramath Experts, Britany and Shiwaum! We are very proud of you!
Hands-on math is a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon!
Numbers bigger than 100 can be more challenging…at first!
Congratulations Shiwaum! On to subtraction!
You are a Math Superstar Britney! Up next….subtraction!
