Botany


BOTANY 

Some of the kids in class were successful at sprouting beans! but some beans didn't grow! Why?We analyzed over-crowding, lack of water, or too much water made a difference. And then we set on to try again! 



We talked a bit about how plants are small to start out, but they get bigger and bigger. The new branches though, are smaller than the thicker branches that hold them, or the trunks. Big at the base gives stability for growth. 

Here's a fun video from one day of last week.

“Imagination does not become great until human beings, given the courage and the strength, use it to create.”   ―  Maria Montessori At Lighthouse Montessori Academy we delight in fueling the internal light of children. In this video you will see some of our typical days. We'd like to thank the children and their parents for their participation this month! You make a huge difference! We have two spots open for the Fall. Space is limited, and we invite you to contact us today! What's the big deal with Montessori? It is hands-on, neurologically stimulating and beautifully simple.
