Even the Big Guy has to show his ID! 🎅🪪

We had a very special visitor stop by on Wednesday, and even though he’s on the "Nice List," Santa made sure to follow our safety protocols by checking in at our secure entrance.

At Brandywine, safety is our top priority—from the North Pole to the front office. A huge thank you to our staff, students, and visitors for helping us keep our halls secure and our spirits high.

Remember: No matter who you are (or how many reindeer you have parked on the roof), checking in at the front desk is what keeps our school family safe! 🦌✨

Who says Algebra can’t be a hit? 🎤📈

Mr. Nelson’s classes just wrapped up a fun creative math project! Students were challenged to write original songs using 5 different algebraic terms and design a custom album cover to match.

Seeing the intersection of creativity and logic was incredible. These students didn't just learn the definitions—they turned them into art.

Students at Brandywine Elementary played Music Twister this week! Students had to step on the corresponding "note" instead of the color, such as quarter note, half note, etc. This strategy will help them get better at reading notes and music!

We're so proud of Owen, one of our bright head start students who joins our teachers at Merritt for special education time! Last week, Owen was a rockstar during his Social Emotional Learning (SEL) activity.

He worked on recognizing and naming different feelings by creating pictures that describe his emotions. Understanding how to express yourself is such a crucial skill for young learners, and Owen is making amazing progress!

What's making some noise in our second-grade classroom? It's the long "u" sound! This versatile vowel can sound like the start of 'unicorn' 🦄 OR the 'oo' in 'ruler' 📏.

Ask your second grader to tell you a long "u" word tonight! You might be surprised by how many they know!
