Do you have children who don’t want to write? Writing is challenging. It requires effort to think of all the sounds in a word and concentration to stick with it. Lately we’ve been playing a writing game where they come pick a picture or object and then go write it. It adds to the excitement when they don’t know what they’re going to pick! What do you do to motivate writing? #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessorieducation #montessoriclassroom #writing #moveablealphabet #phoneticwriting #phonogram #steubenville #steubenvilleohio

Our building, unfortunately, doesn’t really have windows that can be cleaned, but we do have mirrors. We’re keeping busy with lots of water 💦 #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessoriclassroom #montessorilearning #praticallife #practicallifeactivity #windowwashing #mirrorwashing #waterworks #keepingbusy #steubenville #steubenvilleohio

This girl loves to do these puzzle maps. She’ll do this one three or four times in a row. She’s getting to be an expert on Europe! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessorieducation #montessoriclassroom #sensorial #puzzlemap #europe #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Practical life activities, like window washing and mirror washing, give the children practice in following a sequence, help them create order in their environment, and let them take ownership of their space. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorieducation #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #practicallife #practicallifeactivity #windowwashing #mirrorwashing #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
