Our 1st graders had a great time learning about Smagoo and the importance of self-control during counseling! They practiced four important steps to help them make good choices: Stop, Think, Wait, and Make the Right Decision! We’re building strong skills for a lifetime of success, one choice at a time!

Brookside’s third-grade artists learned about Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese artist famous for her love of dots and pumpkins! They explored a fun new printmaking technique using markers right on their tables to create their prints. They had a blast trying out this new skill, and many even asked to make more than one! It was wonderful to see their excitement as they discovered new ways to make art!

Taking learning beyond the classroom! 🚜🐄
