Kindergarten and Primary Montessori Christmas Program
Before Thanksgiving break, Mrs. Land & her gardening team came to teach our students about trees, which provide a valuable resource for things we use daily, such as toothpaste and soap. Students also learned about photosynthesis. Our students made creative drawings from a leaf and shared them with their class. 🍁
In garden class, Mrs. Land showed students the bitter orange plant and provided seedlings to plant. Catherine talked about acorns and experimented to see if theirs was a viable/living seed.
Ms. Bitsy shared a read-aloud: Acorn to Oak Tree Life Cycle. Ms. Gene showed students how to tell if eggs are safe to eat. Third graders harvested kale and lettuce, 🥬and then Mrs. Land made a salad with our lettuce during lunch. Great day in the garden!🪴
Mr. Phelps came to teach our students all about Bees! 🐝 We learned about bee colonies, pollination, and how honey is collected. We also tasted delicious honey! 🍯
Congratulations to our October teacher feature of the month, Daina Palanay, and our staff feature of the month, Terrub Thompson. We appreciate all of your dedication to MECC!
