Eleanor and Cyrus blew egg yolk and white out of the egg shells, painted the eggs and made nests for their eggs. Just something for the kids to do.
It’s Fri-yay! 🥳 You know what that means? It’s time for some Gorilla Math! 🦍🔢 It’s a thing. Just go with it.

On Fridays at NuMinds HQ we have SPARK sessions with our Inspirators where we share ideas and words of encouragement, question, create and ultimately fuel up for bringing real, inspired learning to the world! Our Inspirators use Gorilla Math and the likes in their daily lessons with kiddos at our partners schools such as Archgate Montessori Academy, Leadership Prep School, The Westwood School, Parish Episcopal School Greenhill School, Starwood Montessori School, Alcuin School, King Arthur Montessori Academy, St Christopher Montessori just to name a few.
FOMO is real, we know it.

Not many fields of knowledge incorporate creativity and fun simultaneously but we do at Archgate robotics and tech. We continue learning about science, engineering and maths, understanding how these subjects link together. Archgate Montessori Academy
At Archgate Montessori Academy our amazing engineers 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ used the structure of atoms to construct a new science museum tower!
Recently, there was an amazing individual literacy challenge going around, and we want to do it, too, but with a twist! We want to help increase literacy awareness and make sure each child is reading or getting read to every day. The best way we thought to do so was to consult the experts themselves…teachers and schools. Each day for 5 days we will post one children’s book. Each day we will also challenge one school to take up this challenge.

Day #4 - We have accepted a challenge from The Woods, A Montessori School to post 5 books that we love (1 per day). No reviews, no explanations, just covers. Each day we will nominate a new school to take up this challenge. Let us promote children’s literacy and a book list! Today we challenge Archgate Montessori Academy. We can't wait to see what they pick!!
What better way to learn than through creative play? 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️

Our Archgate Montessori Academy students designed games using probability 🎛. Then they developed their sales and marketing skills! 👨‍💼
Our students at Archgate Montessori Academy became escape artists! 🔐

To find their way out of our custom-made escape room, these clever kiddos used tools 🛠 such as measurement, problem solving, reading comprehension, addition, subtraction. teamwork under pressure, and positive group dynamics.
Our students created fabulous Art Bots 🎨🤖 at Archgate Montessori Academy!
Cosmic Education is the ‘heart’ of the Elementary curriculum. Keeping into consideration the inquisitive minds during the second plane of development, Maria Montessori developed a specific curriculum that caters to the needs of the development of the 6-12 year olds. She called this the ‘Cosmic Education.’ It is based on the ‘Five Great Lessons.’

Last week my beautiful Elementary team and I were able to strike the imagination of those young minds as we presented the ‘First Great Lesson’ to our Elementary community. I truly felt nothing less than a narrator, as the rest of the team lead the students to see the bigger picture with the help of the material and the impressionist charts. It was fun to prepare for this lesson, present it and the Q&A at the end. We have been in absolute awe of your discoveries Maria Montessori!

I wish you the Happiest 149th Birthday, my genius ❤️. I love teaching about you, I love learning from you, I love talking about you, I love using the materials, you discovered and I ABSOLUTELY love wearing you on my t-shirts and telling ppl where I got them from!

Today we honor the woman who began it all and inspires us to this day to continue in her good work. The love of children and humanity unites us in education. 💚

Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we honor Maria Montessori—feminist, pioneer, and icon. Montessori was a trailblazer whose philosophy and activism is still as relevant today as it was when she began her work for social justice more than 100 years ago.

🌦️ Outdoor education is a valuable part of our lessons at Archgate. Mrs. Mirabella invites small groups of students each day to explore our beautiful 7.5 acre campus allowing their classmates to continue learning indoors with their classroom guides. The learning opportunities are endless! 🌱

What is your child’s favorite sensorial work?

As with all the Montessori materials, there is much more going on with the child’s work than might appear to the casual observer.

Among the first in the sensorial materials, the Knobbed and Knobless Cylinders set the stage for a progression of exercises that train the senses, encourage attention, and develop intelligence; in short, exercises that indirectly prepare the child for later work in language, mathematics, and all future academic endeavors.

Benefits from working with cylinders include the development of:

- Skills in visual discrimination
- Sequencing and seriation skills
- Precision
- New vocabulary

To learn more, read the article titled "The Montessori Knobbed Cylinders: Introducing the Young Child to Changes in Dimension" and check out our new series about Montessori materials on the Montessori Life blog. https://bit.ly/3H7Uc2b

“And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said
"Speak to us of children"
Your children are not your children
They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you
You may give them your love but not your thoughts
For they have their own thoughts
You may house their bodies but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams
You may strive to be like them
But seek not to make them like you
For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday
You are the bows from which your children
As living arrows are sent forth
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite
And he bends you with his might
That his arrows may go swift and far
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness
For even as he loves the arrow that flies
So he loves also the bow that is stable”~

~Khalil Gibran, “On Children”

Montessori Education is known for offering Practical Life opportunities to children. At the toddler level this includes pouring from a pitcher to a cup, as they grow their Practical Life lessons grow with them. Real work creates ownership, belonging, and confidence. Not your average middle school project; isn’t it amazing to watch the collaboration?!? Imagine the wildflowers that will grow here next spring!!🌻🌸🌼🌱

"We may think we are nurturing our garden, but of course it's our garden that is really nurturing us." - Jenny Uglow⁠

Are your kids interested in gardening?⁠

Gardening goes beyond the basics of seed + soil = plant and is valuable activity for kids to enjoy while spending time outside. ⁠

Along the way, they’ll grow in ways you hadn't expected and develop alongside the plants they are caring for. ⁠

So let’s get outside and grow something together!⁠
