We love a ~SpOoKy~ greeting on Friday the 13th! 🎃👻

Morning Meeting is our favorite part of the day, especially when we get to create a secret handshake! @wwrsd

So honored Molly & Alessandra chose to be us in their theater week play - truly doesn’t get better than that 💖

Learning lots of vocab & geometric terms can be challenging, but not when you make them with toothpicks and play-dough!

4th grade scientists have been learning all about circuits! Today we made our own simple circuit! 💡🔋🥼

[Mrs. Acosta & Miss Santaella @4thAcSa]

This mornings activity was a hit! Students worked with partners to complete the drawing challenge: one partner gave directions without saying what the object was, while the other partner tried to recreate it! @responsiveclass 🎨✍️

We are so LUCKY to have the best crew of fourth graders! ☘️💚🌈

Students in Ms. Acosta and Ms. Cascione's 4th grade worked together to collect and organize data. Then, we used the data to plot our information on one big line plot! #BESTatBrookside

Fourth Grade Writers are hard at work peer editing each other’s literary essays using a checklist and colored pencils!

It’s Wacky Wednesday in 4AC! We started our morning with a wacky name generator, and played a wacky “choose an object” activity! 🤪

To wrap up our historical fiction book club unit unit these creative fourth graders chose to write diary entries from the main character’s perspective, create a character instagram profile, or create a memory box

[Brookside School @BrooksideWWRSD]

Our fourth graders celebrated the completion of their Historical Fiction Book clubs today. Students created an instagram page, memory box or diary based on their book. Peers provided compliments to each other during today's celebration. Way to be the #BESTatBrookside

Ask any kid in 4AC what their favorite math review game is. The answer will be….TRASHKETBALL! 🏀✖️➗

[Westwood Regional @wwrsd]

Students in 4-AC were hard at work adding and subtracting mixed numbers this week! They led the lesson on the smartboard and then participated in math rotations. Some of the fun included small group work, facts practice on REFLEX, and a hands-on fraction game! #BESTatBrookside

[Mrs. Acosta & Miss Santaella @4thAcSa]

@BarbaraPortelli @BrooksideWWRSD Love this (& them!)

[Mrs. Acosta & Miss Santaella @4thAcSa]

Nothing puts a smile on your face quite like walking into school on Valentine’s Day and seeing notes like this hanging around the school from former and present students! 🥹💗

It’s THINK IT OUT Thursday! 🧠🤔 Each week, we work together in teams with Problem Solving Rounds to break down word problems! #TeamworkMakestheDreamWork
