Pom Pom jar

After Robyn's most recent workshop held at ALRM for Montessori educators, she instituted the Pom Pom Jar. Each and every time a student displays kindness and courtesy for the community, s/he can pick out a pom pom and put it in the jar. Once the jar is full, the class will have pajama day! Ask your son or daughter about this; the children LOVE to add to it!

Reminder

Any children who were absent both Wednesday and Thursday of last week will have their pictures taken Monday morning at school. A reminder that order forms for school pictures are available at ALRM and are due on Friday. If you email me at kristen.reimold@gmail.com, I also can email you a copy. Have a good week!

Dear Parents,
School pictures are ready! Please take a look at the following link: http://kristenreimold.smugmug.com/

You will find a gallery for ALRM. It is password protected. You can email me at kristen.reimold@gmail.com for the password or you can find it posted at ALRM. Each child has three images posted. When you place your order, you will need to indicate which image you would like for each size print. Each image has a name and number under it (such as Jonathon2).

The gallery will go off-line on Friday, November 18th at noon. Order forms and checks (made out to Kristen Reimold Photography) are due back at ALRM by Friday, November 18th at 5pm. Order forms are available at ALRM.
Please let me know if you need any help with ordering! I enjoyed capturing your little ones!

Music with Miss Mary! | Lakes Region Music Together

Miss Mary brought her beautiful voice, contagious energy, and drumsticks to last week's Music Together class!

Update

Dear Parents,

I wanted to first thank all the parent volunteers who have helped out in the classrooms over the past two weeks. Their help has been so invaluable at this time.
Thank you!!

In addition, a case of head lice has been found in one of our students over the weekend. This student will remain out of school at this time. We have done a lice check for each student today, and we will continue to do this daily. We will be sending home any nap-time materials to be washed and we have bagged up any school materials for 48 hours. Please continue to monitor your child at home. Checking for lice in natural light is best; look for small, white eggs that are latched at the base of the hair and do not come out easily. You also might find some redness around the ears and neck. Please keep us informed if you find lice; currently we only have reports of one student.

We appreciate your help!
Teacher Robyn and staff

Parent Teacher Conferences- October 10th

On Monday, October 10th, ALRM will have teacher conferences. Teacher Robyn will begin with a description of the areas of the classroom and discuss the significance of them. Next, she will discuss what the class has studied before moving onto your child's individual progress. Finally, she will welcome any questions or comments regarding your child.

Please sign up for a conference at the front hall of the school.  If you are unable to attend on the date and time provided, Robyn will be available for a conference at another time at your convenience. In the event that you are unable to use the time slot you signed up for, please call the school at 217-0035 to allow your spot to be used by another family.

Miss Mary will be displaying a table of instruments for sale for those of you interested in bringing more music into your home. Also, if you are in need of daycare for the day, please let Teacher Robyn know so that she can have the downstairs classroom fully staffed.

greater than and less than | Montessori Kindergarten

The Kindergartners were hard at work on Monday afternoon. After settling into some time with their workbooks, the girls reviewed "greater than" and "less than." The alligator always eats (<) the bigger number...
