Kindergarteners enjoyed some time exploring the great outdoors this week!
As part of STEM class, our little learners joined Mrs. Skinner for a nature walk through the woods behind Merritt Elementary. Armed with clipboards, paper, and pencils, students observed their surroundings and sketched the things they discovered along the way.

Our 7th graders are nearing the finish line of their first big read of the year with the Amplify curriculum: Red Scarf Girl: A Memoir of the Cultural Revolution. They've been listening to the book together as a class.
Through sixth-grader Ji-Li’s experiences in 1960s Shanghai, China, students are gaining a window into another time, another place, and a life very different from their own. As they read, students are sharpening their focus by zooming in on meaningful moments in the text and bringing their own writing to life with rich, descriptive details drawn from personal experiences.
It’s been an eye-opening journey that goes beyond the pages—strengthening literacy skills, deepening understanding, and building empathy along the way.
Thank you to the Niles Township Fire Department for visiting our Brandywine Elementary students last week! They were able to learn about fire safety and how the fire truck works.

Last week, our second graders wrapped up their Ancient Asian Civilizations unit with an amazing cross-classroom learning adventure! Students traveled to each second grade classroom to experience a different hands-on activity:

-Mrs. Wallick’s Class: Created directed drawings
-Mrs. Lovison’s Class: Crafted dragon paper chains
We are so proud of our young historians for their curiosity and enthusiasm as they explored ancient cultures! What a fun way to end a great unit!
