Hanukkah Celebration 2018
The Kindergarten and Elementary students had a great time learning about Hanukkah from Mrs. Ashcom. The students heard a story about the holiday, saw the lighting of a Menorah, ate fried matzah, and played the dreidel game.
Turkey and Pilgrim Visit
Last month a pilgrim and a live turkey came to Brookeside Montessori School! This program from Quiver Farms is an annual tradition. The students hear the story about the first Thanksgiving. Then they enjoy activities about the foods the pilgrims would have eaten and the tools they would have used. It’s a great holiday show!
