Principal's Message
Dear Brookfield Families,
This week teachers planned an assortment of winter themed activities to send students off for winter break: snowmen crafts, gingerbread cookies, and class parties with lots of DELICIOUS food! We also got to hear the lovely voices of our 5th and 6th grade chorus singing some of our favorite winter tunes. What a festive week!
Throughout the week, Broncos were joyful and kind to one another. We hope they will carry this joy home and spread it throughout the holiday season.
Enjoy your time together and we will see you in the New Year!

This month's Critical and Creative routine highlighted was the technique of questioning. Questioning is actively clarifying, exploring, challenging, and assessing the understanding of ideas. Students who take responsibility for asking their own questions become more productive and engaged in their learning processes.
For more information on Critical and Creative Thinking routines please visit our FCPS site here.
Safety Patrol Awards
Brookfield has over 60 fifth and six graders that help keep our buses, hallways and Kiss and Ride areas safe. Every month, Mr. Bernatzky recognizes those patrol leaders whose extra effort makes a difference.

Portrait of a Graduate Skills
In STEAM students have been working on their collaboration skills. Good collaborators share their ideas and respectfully listen to the ideas of others.
In our marshmallow tower challenge, students had to use the engineering design process to create a tower using 25 marshmallows and 25 toothpicks. They then had to share their ideas with their peers in order to collaborate and come up with one combined solution.
For more information regarding Portrait of a Graduate please here.
Join us on Friday, January 20 for BINGO night! We'll have pizza and snacks for sale at 5:30 and Bingo will start after 6:15pm.
If you're available to help out, please sign up here .
Teacher Appreciation
 The PTA has been trying to show our teachers how much we appreciate their hard work. We provided treats in November and a hot chocolate bar in December. If you're interested in helping us say thank you to the amazing Brookfield staff one month please email us at PTA.Brookfield@gmail.com. We'll need help acquiring items as well as set up/clean up.
Office Closed for Winter Break
Brookfield's Main Office will be closed through the Winter Break and will reopen on Tuesday, January 3rd.
