First graders in Mrs. Skinner's STEM class had "Working Together Wednesday" today! They worked in groups to build Lego structures while learning teamwork and problem-solving.
Nothing beats those Developmental Kindergarten friendships.
Sharing snacks, mastering the playground, and making core memories before they even know it. The very first friends are forever friends!

We have two Brandywine Elementary Bobcats who have tested out of World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) and are now proficient as English learners! WIDA testing is used in schools to measure the English language proficiency of K-12 students who are English learners.
Our students celebrated by grabbing a book from the book vending machine and received a Cat Card for their accomplishment. We are so proud!
Community Circle time!
Our elementary classes have Community Circle time each week to come together as a class and get to know one another. Each student gives an answer to a posed question such as “What is something you are good at?” or "What color of a dragon would you like to have and what would you name it?"
This time gives students the opportunity to be respectful and focused listeners.

The students in Mr. Pomranka's Bobcat Natural Resources class are hard at work, keeping up the middle school courtyard! They've been picking up apples and removing sumac from the overgrowth.
The Bobcat Natural Resources class is connecting environmental science and ecology directly to everyday life, while discovering how simple green habits make a huge impact on our community. #thebrandywinedifference

Students in Mrs. Harper's 6th grade science classes created a scientific flask with information all about them! Students were very proud of their creations!
The journey begins! Today, we welcomed our newest little learners to their first day of the Great Start Readiness Program!
Preschool is where the magic of lifelong learning begins, and today was filled with hands-on discovery, story time, and making new friends.

Students in our broadcasting classes just got an upgrade - a new podcasting and camera studio set up! Our Investigative Journalism class produces the podcast Underestimated each year, which takes a deep dive into chosen cold cases. Ads purchased by local businesses to produce the podcast helped pay for the new setup!
Thank you to those who have supported our students! Stay tuned for a new season of Underestimated later in the school year.
