January and February have been busy months for PM Kindergarten!
January and February have been busy months for PM Kindergarten! In Social Studies, we finished our exploration of Europe with discussion of Ireland, England, Italy and Spain. The children completed many projects, but their favorites included drawing themselves holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa and building a (not quite scale) model of Stonehenge.
Chef Nikki Says “Try Two Bites!”
Our resident nutrition expert, Chef Nicole Miller brought fresh, local, raw, kale to Brookeside Montessori School on Thursday, January 14th and helped the children try it raw (Kale/Granny Apple juice) and prepared (Fresh Kale Chips and Kale Saute'!) All classes participated. Our favorite overall was the raw juice! The children drank it right up! Chef Nikki will be presenting fresh, local healthy lunch box ideas to staff and parents in the Fall! We really look forward to it!
