Brookeside Montessori’s Annual Science Fair!
The students in the Elementary class participated in this annual event on January 22. Each student worked on their project for several weeks using the scientific method of question, research, hypothesis, experimentation, and drawing a conclusion. At the science fair students shared their projects with the school community, practicing public speaking skills.
Brookeside Montessori School Pre-K and Kindergarten children made weather predictions on Monday, February 1. On Tuesday, we took our Groundhog Puppets outside to see if our predictions were correct. Most of our class predicted that our groundhogs would see their shadows and we were right!
The Elementary class at Brookeside Montessori are participating in a special community service project. They have been visiting Frederick Living, A Retirement Community. On their first visit the students planted bulbs in a flower bed. Since then they have celebrated a birthday with one of the residents, participated in games and crafts, and right before the holidays went caroling.
This fall the Elementary students at Brookeside Montessori enjoyed lessons and activities on different bird species. Looking through the regurgitated parts it was exciting to find bones. We also went on a field trip to Hawk Mountain. It was a beautiful day for a hike and a picnic. Students relied on the guides to point out the different migrating birds and eagerly looked on through their binoculars.
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.
