The Brickton Weekly, October 14, 2010

The 9-12 is headed to Nature’s Classroom
Next week, the 9-12 class will be spending the week at Nature’s Classroom in Mukwanago, WI.  Nature's Classroom is a “unique educational program in that it teaches students the utilization of science, math, social science, and language arts skills within a natural environment.”  Students have a great opportunity to learn more about themselves and meet new people while learning in an outdoor environment.

The Middle School students take two week-long trips to Nature’s Classroom throughout the year.

Teacher of the Month
Each month, we will highlight a different teacher at Brickton.  It’s a chance for you to get to know the teachers better.  At Brickton, we pride ourselves on building the relationship between teacher, student, and parent.  We feel this is important to the strength of our community. 

We hope you enjoy it!

The Brickton Move-a-Thon is closing soon
We hope that you are very close to completing all of your miles for the Brickton Move-a-thon! 

Save the date!! Saturday, October 23rd, at 10:00 a.m. in Peterson Park

Please join us for the FINAL Move-a-thon walking day.  All pledges should be turned in to the main office by Friday, November 5th.  Thank you for supporting Brickton!

NEW!  Program Blogs!
Brickton Montessori School has just switched to Google Apps for Education.  Nothing has changed for you!  All the brickton.org email address will remain the same.  We do have a new way for you to see what’s going on in the classroom.  Each program has set up a Program Blog with pictures and short descriptions of life in the classroom. 

The links are located on the family website.  Click your child’s classroom and click the link at the top of the page.  We have included links below for your convenience.
