Brookeside Montessori Preschool students were thrilled to take part in our annual Halloween party! We snacked on homemade pumpkin ice cream sandwiches, danced the Monster Mash and the Purple People Eater (with air guitars), and played some Halloween themed games including the Pumpkin in the Dark, Ring around the Witch's Hat, and Ping Pong bounce with 'eyeballs'.
Hooray for Hay Rides! Let's pick pumpkins! Brookeside Montessori Preschool traveled to Savidge Farms in Mertztown on Thursday, October 19th, 2017. See some highlights from the trip including a hayride with our families, a movie in the barn, and choosing our own pumpkins fresh from the field!
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!
