Migrating Monarchs. In September the Brookeside Montessori Elementary class met with Ron Richael, a local expert on butterflies. Mr. Richael showed the children his butterfly garden. He reviewed the life cycle of a butterfly and discussed the plants that are important to caterpillars and butterflies.
Recently the students in the PreK and Kindergarten classes traveled to Frecon Orchards. On our tour of the orchard, students learned the parts of an apple, how an apple tree grows, and how the tree produces fruit. The students were taught how to pick an apple properly and picked several different varieties of apples that grow in the orchard. After our tour, we enjoyed apple cider and donuts! Later in the week we used some of the apples to make applesauce.
Creativity, Exercise & Fun! The students, staff, and families of Brookeside Montessori School cooperated to participate in the Bally Halloween Parade on October 17, 2017. Our 'Montessori Around the World' themed float winning third prize in the large float division!
Students in each classroom at Brookeside Montessori were able to invite Grandparents or Grandfriends to visit during the school morning on October 6, 2017. Activities included family photos in our own little "photo booth". Thanks for the memories!
On Thursday, September 21, 2017 the faculty and students at Brookeside Montessori School gathered together in the peace garden to sing the song “Light a Candle for Peace”. Cooperating with other Montessori school children throughout the world, the students reached the goal of keeping the song going continually around the world for 24 hours during the International Day of Peace.
