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.
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 Student Gardening Program at Brookeside Montessori School. Our summer gardening program has harvested lettuce, radishes, tomatoes and herbs. Now, in Fall, our students, including Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes harvested our Autumn garden. We raked out potatoes and pulled turnips and red beets!
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.
Pre-K and Kindergarten students made "100" posters, counted to 100 forward AND backward (!), jumped 100 times, Made 100 goggles and necklaces and played 100 day games! Students cheer for 100 day, while displaying their "100" posters.
