We're celebrating the holiday in our classrooms! The week before Thanksgiving each class held a feast. This annual tradition features students dressed in costumes, sharing songs and poems, and of course delicious food. Teachers and parents combined their skills to create a beautiful and meal.
Classes from Brookeside Montessori went on field trips to Savidge Farms and Wilcox Farms to celebrate the season. Students and chaperones participated in fun autumn activities like riding a hay wagon, choosing a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, and navigating a corn maze. Fun for All!
The Brookeside Montessori Home and School Association created a float for the Bally Lions Club's Halloween Parade. Our theme this year was "Nurturing Growing Minds." We won third place in the judges choice category!
Harrow Pears - This Week's Healthy Snack! Pears provide lots of vitamin C which helps build strong muscles, blood vessels, bones, and teeth. Pears are high in fiber which keeps you satisfied longer. Pears are ready to eat when they lighten in color and gain a blush to their skin. Harrow pears are super sweet, similar to sickle pears. One medium pear is about 100 calories.
Brookeside Montessori Preschool students harvested the final vegetables of the season from our school garden. The students put the tomatoes, potatoes, and green beans in a crockpot. Classroom teachers brought tomatillos, spinach, and green onions from their home kitchen gardens to make a really yummy vegetable soup. Just in time for fall, our soup is an annual Brookeside Montessori tradition!
