PJ Day Jam! On Thursday, December 10th, students at Brookeside Montessori took part in our annual Pajama Day to support our school spirit! Highlights included dancing to the-the tune "We're Not Sleepy" by the Bacon Brothers and the "Pajama Time" found on Sandra Boynton's "Philadelphia Chickens" collection.
December has been an exciting month for Afternoon Kindergarten! In Science, we learned that chemistry is the science of mixing- and then we gave all that mixing a try. In Social Studies, Kindergarten began their investigation of Europe.
The students in the PM enrichment class have been studying classifications of animals and the parts of animals. So far we have created bats and learned their parts, created squirrel diagrams, turtle diagrams, and are moving on to birds in winter and fish in spring. We also learned about animals with skeletons and without.

We raised about $2,300! The proceeds of this event provide for scholarships and directly support the programs of our school. Thanks again [...]
