Preschool & Enrichment Classes
Brookeside Montessori Preschool & Afternoon Enrichment classes have been exploring land, air and water through science activities. Some of our favorite activities included the habitat song, dissolving solids into liquids, and using whisks to create bubbles and foam with soap. Language extensions about snow and ice and geography lessons about polar regions were also enjoyed.
