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.

The Musical Bells are really a Sensorial exercise. Eventually we’ll get to some musical literacy when the children are a little older. But for now they’re just learning to distinguish between pitches. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessoriclassroom #montessorilearning #musicalbells #montessoribells #sensorial #perfectpitch #catholicmontessori #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Washing a table and singing, “Dontcha know how much fun it can be at school washing a table?” 🎶
The Continuation of Counting exercises introduce the children to numbers greater to 10. Eventually they will count all the way to 1,000, but first they start with just building eleven with beads. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #catholicmontessori #montessorimath #counting #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
