It’s #givingtuesday and we hope you’ll join us in our work of providing quality Montessori education to children in our low-income neighborhood. Most of our children could not have the fantastic foundation to life that is Montessori without the support of others. Thank you so much for your support. See link in bio for ways to give. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessoriforall #helpingchildren #pleasegive #fundraiser
We are THANKFUL for the families who entrust these formative years to us, and most especially to our many SUPPORTERS who make this work possible.
We have a partial crew this morning before Thanksgiving, but they’re all finding work to do.

Work with the teen boards helps the child continue counting past 10. Soon he’ll be ready to count to 100! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #teenboard #montessorimath #counting #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Flower arranging, ordering the bells by pitch, washing cloths, building the pink tower and brown stair, reading, the binomial cube, and spooning work… a very busy moment in the children’s house.

Lots of good presentations given today, lots of great work done.
Normalization of behavior can be a long-term work, but that’s what we’re here for!

On what may be our last 60 degree day of the year spending some time outside to enjoy nature, eat the last apple from our apple tree, and do a little climbing is a must. Love this climbing triangle from Crowe-Built Triangles! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #falldays #climbingtriangle #gratefulfortimeoutside #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
The Hundred Board is not an AMI material, but sometimes a child needs a little help counting to 100. By placing tiles on the board the child can absorb patterns of numbers and gain a deeper knowledge of the numbers from 1-100. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #hundredboard #counting #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
A good assistant is invaluable in a Montessori classroom. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #montessoriassistant #primaryassistant #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
She was cleaning the plant leaves and, having finished, went to put it away. But, she missed the shelf and dropped the plant. No problem! She knows where the dustpan and brush are kept. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #careofplants #sweeping #practicallife #practicallifeskills #2yearsold #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Oh the concentration that can come from making careful lines! It’s so fun seeing the little ones from last year taking steps toward bigger works this year. Watching them grow and develop is always amazing! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessoriclassroom #montessorilearning #metalinsets #concentration #montessoriwriting #almost4 #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Poetry time at the end of the morning. This week it’s “The Moon,” by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Followed by prayer table time: Amen, Alleluia
Criss-cross applesauce! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessoriactivity #montessorischool #poetry #prayertable #steubenville #steubenvilleohio
Girls doing construction together, learning the continents, discerning rough versus smooth while blindfolded, and slicing bananas with a real paring knife…
A few things we do in a Montessori children’s house.
