Families have been sharing photos of the work children are doing through our distance learning program. Each week classroom teachers are providing learning resources, Montessori inspired activities and traditional homework assignments. Throughout the day our classroom teachers are scheduling one on one time with students and lessons are given to small groups of students.
The faculty and staff at Brookeside Montessori have a special video to share with all of you. We miss you and look forward to the time we can safely all be together!
Earlier this month the farmer from Quiver Farms delivered 12 eggs and taught us how to take care of them. The first chicks hatched a few days after their arrival. The children were so excited and immediately began caring for the baby chicks. They filled their food dish twice a day with chick food and gave them fresh water morning and afternoon.
Counting ALL BERKS COUNTY STUDENTS in the 2020 Census is important to ensure that Berks County receives the federal dollars that impact special education, free and reduced-price lunch, class size reduction, classroom technology, teacher training, pre-school and after school programs. Money based upon the Census count also impacts health care, federal road construction, job training, etc.
