Our Brandywine Elementary artists created self portraits in art class! Ms. Page challenged them to make the same faces as their portraits for their pictures.





Last week, our Yearbook crew took full advantage of a stunning sunrise, stepping outside for some fresh air and hands-on practice. Students experimented with aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to figure out exactly which camera settings capture the best light.

What a finish to an incredible season! Huge Congratulations to the Pride of Brandywine Marching Band for bringing home third place this weekend at East Kentwood—the largest scholastic band competition in the state! Way to end the season on a high note!






Last week, our preschoolers' snack time double-dutyed as a fun math lesson! The kids grabbed measuring spoons, measuring cups, and scoops to measure out their ingredients and build their very own ultimate trail mix.



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. Reed’s Class: Practiced writing Chinese characters
-Mrs. Dodd’s Class: Tasted delicious rice and mastered using chopsticks
-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!

This year, Mrs. Weglowski and Mrs. Abdoo are partnering with Arizona State University and the Michigan Educator Workforce Initiative to bring innovative team teaching to our students!
By working together, they are able to:
🔹 Create smaller, focused learning groups tailored to each student's needs. 🔹 Build a stronger sense of belonging and connection in the classroom.
🔹 Share a true team approach to supporting every child's success.
To make things even better, they are frequently joined by Mrs. Grochowalski and Mrs. Meza—giving our students even more individual attention and support.
