Workshop for New Parents: The Do’s and Don’ts of PostPartum Fitness
Coming up on May 18th at 11 am: Workshop for New Parents: The Do’s and Don’ts of PostPartum Fitness with Meghan Mizrachi!
You were cleared to return to exercise at your six week check up, but your doctor didn’t give any instructions or guidance on how to do it safely and effectively. Maybe you’re still wearing an abdominal brace or you’re worried you have an abdominal separation. Maybe you’re still having some leakage or back pain? or perhaps a sense of heaviness and are afraid that working out will make it worse. Maybe you tried to dive back into your routine but found that things didn’t feel quite right.
This lecture with Meghan Mizrachi is designed to provide clarity on the steps to take after pregnancy, in order to have the confidence to achieve a pain-free lifestyle and reach your fitness goals. She will cover screening for diastasis, the truth about sit-ups, advice about postural behavior, the best exercises for core strengthening, and safe exercise progressions.
The workshop is held at our JC Fitness Fair at City Hall Plaza, Jersey City.
Register HERE.

About Hudson Montessori School
Since the beginning of time, man has always been a maker and an inventor. From the earliest pebble tools to the advanced technologies of today, man has been creating ways to improve life and solve problems.
Being a “Maker” has become an integral part of the Hudson Montessori School experience. There is a natural progression from the way Montessori learning environment moves from skill acquisition to real-life application. Having the time, opportunity, materials and ability to be able to create and develop ideas based off of what a child knows, gives the maker a fruition of ideas, an outcome with a solved problem, and the confidence to continue to craft other ideas and move forward.
As pioneers of the “maker” initiative at the elementary level, which began in 2009 with the inception of our Social Studies Fair, we have grown and developed our programs to be innovative, inventive and insightful. Our mission has adopted “Maker” as a way that students gain knowledge and experience as they use technology and other resources to explore the topic.
At Hudson Montessori School we work with, and show our students how to “make”, and provide them with possibilities and materials. We also have an assembly each week that offers them a forum for presenting their ideas and showing their peers and teachers what they have created. This is an essential step for the students to reflect on their work and receive valuable feedback for them to consider in their next project.
Every year, the entire school engages in a yearlong project that is theme based on a universal topic. Each theme we pick allows us to look at the world from a new perspective and from different angles. Every area of the curriculum is integrated in hands-on applications, such as combining math, science and language skills to figure out and document a solution to a problem.
We launch our theme each year with a family kick-off event that introduces parents to the topic and the work ahead. At this event, children present a portion of their study which explaining to parents a part of what they will be learning through presentations and demonstrations. Families come together at this event to engage in their child’s work and learn more. The culmination of the yearlong theme happens in April at our annual Social Studies Fair. The 2017-2018 year’s theme is The Industrial Revolution and the Birth of Cities.
Our definition of STEAM is not doing projects, or addressing each area of study in isolation, but through exploration of a topic where we integrate skills from every core area of the curriculum and use the scientific method. Using their skills in this way, students are able to reach a successful conclusion by combining their knowledge and experiences to learn and solve problems. (please see our past themes under Events – Social Studies Fair)

Learning by Making Connections
The idea of connecting Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) through the study of a yearlong theme began back in 2009 when the school started. The first theme for a group of 25 toddlers was the 7 Continents. As children explored the seven continents they also studied the unique animals in each continent. Along with their parents and teachers they made little displays depicting the habitats and animals found on the seven continents. This was the beginning of the Social Studies Fair. With every passing year the event has grown in but, the purpose of learning by making connections with the world around students remains.
This year’s Annual Theme at Hudson Montessori School is “The Industrial Revolution and the Growth of Cities”. The Upper Elementary students will be exploring the benefits and challenges of the Industrial Revolution. The Lower Elementary will study how some of the inventions of the ancient Chinese and Roman Civilization contributed to the Industrial Revolution. The Primary classes will explore how cities have come to be a place to meet the needs of man.

Jersey City will enforce a citywide ban on single-use plastic carry-out bags starting June 28, 2019. As households we can also reduce our use of plastic and find better alternatives.
Don’t know where to start? Join our FREE workshop with Melissa Kozakiewics from the City of Jersey City.
She will talk about the upcoming Plastic Ban, as well as how to minimize use of plastic and finding alternatives to plastic in the daily life.
RSVP is required, register HERE to attend. You can also submit questions ahead of time using the registration form.

Awareness about the Single-Use Plastic Ban
Plastic bags have become a huge problem for our environment and recently the City of Jersey City has passed legislation that will ban single-use plastic bags starting in the Summer of 2019. While we have some time to get ready to shift gears in the way we live our lives, it would probably be good if more of us were in touch with the facts about why this step is so important. This film and discussion event is to provide citizens with a broad context about the importance of recycling plastic items and in particular to generate some momentum for banning single-use plastic bags in Jersey City.
Format for the evening will include some refreshments and then kick off with a presentation by special guest Tim Keating / Earthbilt who has been a long time passionado about all the waste us human beings create on this earth. After we screen the film, we will hear from City Officials about the Single-Use Plastic Bag Ban and the No Straws Campaign, and the evening will end with a Q/A session.
More about the film here.
