The Golden Bead material gives the children a sensorial impression of quantity and the operations of mathematics. These three children are working on a large addition problem that they devised themselves. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #montessorimath #montessorimathematics #goldenbeads #addition #dynamicaddition #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Yesterday was our first day back to school after our Easter break and we were happy to welcome our families as guests to our classroom to celebrate the Liturgy of Light. Christ is Light! See how much light has spread through the world by Christ sharing his light with us! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #cgs #catechesisofthegoodshepherd #liturgyoflight #christislight #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Today our hardened chrysalides were transferred to our classroom and to the butterfly environment, waiting for the children when they return from Easter break on Monday. Maybe butterflies by next weekend? #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #caterpillars #chrysalis #butterfly #insectlore #insectlorebutterflygarden #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Still hanging around here! One more day of hardening and these chrysalides can be transferred to the butterfly environment. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #caterpillars #chrysalis #butterfly #insectlore #insectlorebutterflygarden #science #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
These caterpillars have all attached to the top of the lid. Over the next three days they’ll harden into chrysalides and then will be ready to transfer to the butterfly environment, waiting for their emergence as butterflies! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #butterflies #caterpillars #metamorphosis #science #insectlore #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
We got a fun surprise over the weekend. Our Mardi Gras raffle grand prize winner sent us a cup of caterpillars that will turn into Painted Lady butterflies! 🦋 🦋 The children will be so excited to see them when we return from Easter break. In the meantime, we’ll be chronicling their progress here, so check back every day to see some caterpillar metamorphosis! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #insectlore #insectlorebutterflygarden #caterpillars #science #zoology #insects #butterflies #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
