Smile: It's Brandywine Elementary Picture Day 📸
September 15 marked the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month! In Ms. Flores' Spanish 1 Class, students were tasked with researching a prominent Latino and doing a biography on them. Students picked figures such as Frida Kahlo, Lin Manuel-Miranda, Jennifer Lopez, and Bad Bunny.
Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual observance that honors the histories, cultural diversity, and invaluable contributions of those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

Second graders are building math communities with their new Illustrative Math Curriculum! This math program emphasizes collaborative math work as well as use of manipulatives such as cubes, counters, and base ten blocks to help reason math.
The students have also been playing a math game called "What's Behind My Back?" It is a hands-on math game designed to build number sense. Students count 10 small objects together, hide a few behind their back, show the rest in one hand. Their partner must then figure out what's left behind their back!

Work on the CTE Center and Merritt Gym continues!
CTE Center: The current major task on the CTE Center is the erection of the Pre-Engineered Metal Building: Putting up the metal frame and walls of the building. Next up is installing the main pipes, wires, and ducts underground before pouring the concrete floor.
Merritt Gym: Currently installing the metal edges, gutters, and flashing along the roof to seal out rain and give it a finished look, as well as running main utility pipes, electrical wires, and AC/heating ducts through the ceiling. Up next is priming and painting the walls and hanging the actual doors and installing their knobs, locks, hinges, and handles.
These projects were made possible by the passing of our 2024 Bond. Find out more at https://www.brandywinebobcats.org/page/bond2024
