Mrs. John's Pre-K and Kindergarten class had lots of fun today with their "Butterfly Release". For the last six weeks, the children have been watching the caterpillars grow and make their miraculous change into Painted Lady Butterflies. The weather was perfect - warm and sunny. We all watched as they flew over the field to find a new home!
Brookeside Montessori elementary school students prepared their own lunch with Spanish teacher Colleen Krum. The students rolled enchiladas with sauce they made from scratch. No leftovers! They ended their meal with a warm scoop of arroz dulce and fresh fruit.
Afternoon Kindergarten students joined our Elementary students for an International Festival on May 8th. Each child presented a poster showing photos and details of a country of their choosing. They also prepared- and shared- a recipe with their parents and classmates.
Brookeside Montessori School Pre-K and Kindergarten students baked homemade, healthy dog and cat treats. They bagged and sold the treats to raise money for the animals in the Montgomery County SPCA. The children used their math skills to measure ingredients and then had fun using dog-shaped cookie cutters to get the treats ready for baking. It was a fun way for the children to learn to give back to their community.
Brookeside Montessori Elementary and Kindergarten students designed "water cooler" posters. The purpose of this art project supports Brookeside's healthy lifestyles policy and encourages all of our students to drink more water!
