Guidepost Montessori at Museum Mile

Happy first night of Hanukkah to our friends and families celebrating tonight!

The Kindergarten year in Montessori is a time of intense growth in a child's confidence, concentration and intellectual curiosity. The NYC Guidepost network invites you to join our virtual workshop to learn more about the benefits of the third year in Children's House. Hear about our program from our school leaders and experienced lead guides, and connect with current Guidepost parents who are eager to share their family's experiences. RSVP today for our event on Wednesday, December 16th from 7:30-8:30pm. https://guidepostmontessori.com/museum-mile/events

Our Pumpkin Gallery was a hit! The students loved writing compliments and comments for everyone’s pumpkins. Each child is going home with an envelope of compliments for all the hard work they put towards their pumpkins #montessori #guidepostmontessori #guidepost #guidepostmuseummile #museummike #montessoriactivity #montessorischool #mariamontessori #nycmoms #pumpkinpatch #uppereastsidemoms

Our Pumpkin Gallery is off to a great start! All of our students decorated a pumpkin over the weekend and they're now on display for everyone to see! Check back tomorrow to see a live video of our Head of School, Rivkah, showing you around the Gallery!

The beauty of Montessori lessons is that there is always a way to extend the learning or connect it with another work in the classroom. Here you see one of Children's House students sewing a pillow. Before he started to sew, he ground up some lavender (which you can see on the table), and he is going to add the lavender to his pillow for a calming scent.

Take a quick tour through our Elementary classroom during their work period. Do you have any questions about what they're doing or what those materials are? Join us for our Open House this Friday, 10/30 at 9:30 AM to find out more! RSVP here: https://guidepostmontessori.com//2e1bb101-809e-4611-bdfa-2

In the Children’s House, children are exposed to rich and varied mathematical materials that build skills gradually. Each child will work with the decimal system into the thousands, will be exposed to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and divisionand through this will develop a keen number sense, the foundation for a lifetime of quantitative and analytic fluency.

Because children in the Children's House move freely, choosing their own work, snack time, and places to sit, your child will have plenty of opportunities to practice social interaction. Montessori guides shares lessons that each child can practice in various circumstances. These simple clear lessons in everything from asking to sit with someone to blowing one’s own nose or saying excuse me give a child the tools he needs to interact successfully in his world.

"I am very excited about seeing all my friends again and being able to work on my big projects." "I really missed working and playing with my friends. And I also really missed my teachers." We are so excited to welcome all of our families back to school and we would be honored to have your family join our community also!

Our first annual Museum Mile Pumpkin Patch has been so much fun! The children are picking out pumpkins to take home and decorate. Next week they will return their pumpkins for a pumpkin gallery that we’ll be sharing virtually #montessori #guidepostmontessori #guidepostmuseummile #museummile #pumpkinpatch #montessorichild #montessoriguides #montessoriathome #montessoriservices #montessorischool #nycmoms #uppereastsidemoms

In Montessori classrooms, it is important for children to experience nature. This is why we have plants and pets in the classrooms. The children love having the natural elements in the classroom so much that sometimes they bring their own to share! This week, one of our Children's House students brought in beautiful Autumn foliage that he collected. They compared the leaves to the shapes of leaves in the leaf cabinet.

Some of our Elementary students have been exploring the different parts of a day. They used a globe and a lamp to observe how the Sun's light hits the Earth and plays a role in the parts of a day.
