Lots of different works for the children. Problem solving, spatial relations, quantity, fine motor skills, numbers, and even the arrangement of items on the altar over in our CGS atrium.

Fall is a great time to learn about squirrels. We’re working on some definitions of the parts of squirrels these days. Did you know that a squirrel’s teeth never stop growing? 🐿 #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #catholicmontessori #montessorilanguage #partsofasquirrel #squirrel #definitions
The pink tower is a classic Montessori material. Spatial relations, relative size, stacking, and fine motor skills are all in play.
The presentation shows how to stack them from largest to smallest.
Then the child is given the space to stack it on their own. They don't usually get it right their first time. But that's why it's available for them to do it time and again!

Calm before the storm 😂. It’s Phase-in period so we haven’t had much time to take pictures of our beginning of the year activities. 2 new students started this week and more will start on a rolling basis next week. We’re working hard to ensure each student has a successful start to build upon through the year! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #catholicmontessori #beginningoftheschoolyear #newclass

The Thousand Chain is loooong!

The rose exploded in the last couple of days. Maybe we’ll make a couple of flower arrangements with roses before the last day of school! 🌹 #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #catholicmontessori #flowerarranging #roses #almostsummer #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
One of the benefits of the mixed age classroom is older children becoming leaders and teaching their younger classmates. This is a great Sandpaper Letter lesson! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #mixedagelearning #mixedageclassroom #3periodlesson #sandpaperletters #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Finding matching sounds with the sound cylinders helps the children develop their auditory discrimination, an important skill for learning to read and write. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #catholicmontessori #soundcylinders #sensorial #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
