Each year the students at Brookeside Montessori work on collaborative art pieces that will be auctioned. The proceeds from the auction benefit the Home & School Association (HSA). This year HSA purchased new playground equipment, sponsored school assemblies, and provided for special classroom projects.
Did you know that dirt made your lunch? On Earth Day students learned another important fact that the soil is a filter for our drinking water. Using a recycled plastic bottle, small rocks, and soil the students built a filter to replicate what the Earth does.
The children at Brookeside Montessori School started their day talking about how each one of them can help the earth - even in a small way.
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.
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!
