The mission statement of our BWell programming is "At Brookeside Montessori we support children, their families, and our staff in their decision making regarding healthy choices and activities." Since March is National Nutrition Month we planned some extra special activities. Chef Nicole Hauck worked with our wellness committee to plan activities for students, parents, and staff.
After reading the book, Cat in the Hat, students made Cat in the Hat hats. We read If I Ran the Zoo and the students completed a STEM project where we used zoo animals and a variety of materials to make a bridge across a river. We read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and had a special treat.
As a school our students read 17,659 MINUTES (likely closer to 18K minutes as a few logs are still coming in)! Highs logged in Primary Half Day were close to 600 Minutes, in Primary Full Day 1200 minutes, and Elementary 1800 minutes. Each and every student took part contributing to earning our school an impressive GOLD MEDAL FINISH.
Primary Full Day students are learning about the human body. A recent project used food to help students identify the 3 layers of skin.
