STEM is in action today on the second floor of Brunson! Ms. Cole's' 5th graders created Rube Goldberg machines to learn about the transfer of energy, and all of 3rd grade made Balloons Over Broadway after learning about the history and science behind the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons!

Current families and prospective families, mark your calendar! Kaleideum is coming with seven tables of interactive STEM activities (some of which could be: dry ice/ liquid nitrogen/ zoomie tech station, live animals, and more!). This is a drop in event, and there will be a STEM/Magnet table with information for those of you wanting to learn more about Brunson! We can't wait to see you!
History came to life at Brunson Elementary School today when Daniel Ayers, a historical reenactor and former history teacher, held a presentation for fifth graders in full costume. Ayers offered insight into the daily lives of soldiers during the American Revolution while also explaining how small events at the time have become major historical touchstones today. Ayers says that living history presentations like these help give students a sense of continuity, reminding them that despite seeming very long ago, the past was integral to shaping the present.
"Because we're such a young country, a lot of our history has been captured in photos and videos, but further back, especially for the 18th century, all we have are paintings," Ayers said. "Bringing living history to kids shows them that there were real people behind those paintings, and they lived in a real world, and it was our world."

Author Peter Brown came to Brunson today to meet with our 2nd graders. He shared with students about learning to write and draw as a child. Students were glued to the presentation! Thank you to Ms. Randall, Ms. McCracken, and Bookmarks Bookstore in Winston for making this happen!

We had a good turnout at the district's Magnet Fair this morning! Thank you to everyone who came out and learned about Brunson and all of the wonderful magnet schools.
The Bobcats enjoyed a day of dress-up while learning continued and ended with a character parade!
Don't forget! This Saturday! Come learn all about Brunson's STEM magnet as well as about other magnet schools in the district. There are so many exciting opportunities for students.
