Fire Safety Day
Today, the New Hampton Fire Department stopped by for an educational visit. They brought information and fire helmets for the students and gave them tours of both the fire engine and the ambulance. Students especially enjoyed seeing the lights flashing!

The elusive Miss Carol....
Way back in early September, this post introduced you to the ALRM staff; however, Miss Carol's bio was absent. This elusiveness is so Miss Carol! We have since persuaded her to share some information with you:
Your name:
Carol Abromowich
What the students call you:
Miss Carol
Education and relevant training (include how long you have been with ALRM):
BS in Biology
MA in Health Care Administration
Been at ALRM since 2009
What do consider the school’s greatest strength?
The individual learning pace that each child is allowed.
A goal or hope for this school year:
Help each child gain independence and create a welcoming school environment for all the children.
Any personal info you might want to share with our blog readers:I have lived in Meredith for 6 years with myhusband, Decran, and two kids Grace, 6, (ALRM graduate) and Ben 4, (ALRM student) and dog, Molly (who likes to visit ALRM)
I like hiking, reading, gardening and skiing.
Music Together!
On Wednesday, Mary brought Music Together to ALRM! She quickly engaged the children with her fantastic voice, singing, "Hello, everybody! So glad to see you!" to each child individually. The children were enchanted for the entire time as they sang, moved their bodies, and tried out different noise makers.
Mary is offering the Music Together class for the year. Each child was sent home with information on the class as well as a DVD and CD. Soon you will be hearing "Hey, Lolly, Lolly" throughout your home!

Letter from the Director
October 05, 2010
First, I would like to take a moment and welcome all of our families both old and new! In every part of my being, I know that this is going to be one of the best years that I have enjoyed as a Montessori Educator!
Our school community is so strong, both with the families we support and the staff exists this year. If you notice all of our staff and the excellence that each brings to the school, you will notice how diverse each member is. Yet, we all fit nicely together and bring a little something extra to your children and to the school. I would like my staff to know that I value them as individuals and that I really am grateful for all of there dedication to the school and to the families that we support!
Sometimes, quite often, people say to me: “I don’t know how you do this job?” I always respond the same way. This isn’t my job. This is my life. I am a Montessori Teacher down to my being. It is as much a part of me as anything else. I learn something new from the children, the families, and the staff every single day! I believe, like our children, we grow each year. Maybe not, physically I hope anymore, but intellectually and spiritually. I believe this year, with all of our exciting changes will be better than any we have yet experienced and it is my wish that it will be for all of us!!!
With Peace and Love,
Teacher Robyn

Classroom 1 Update

Classroom 1 Update
Well, we back to the basics in our class! We are enjoying learning and relearning how to use all of our beautiful and fundamental Montessori materials.
We are currently in the process of finishing up our study with the red rods and parents will see the support material, booklet, in your child’s take home bin. We have already enjoyed lessons in the pink tower, and we have learned three of our geometric solids: sphere, cube, and the cone. In addition, the class has had their first lesson, or a reminder lesson, with our intro to Golden Bead work: 1, 10, 100, and 1000.
Our first special study is of the continents and many versions of the support material will be sent home as your child completes it. In addition to the continents, we are reviewing daily our alphabet sounds and have been introduced to some French colors and some sign language.
As I tell most parents, we begin our school year “normalizing” in our environment. This is an important part of building a very secure foundation in the classroom.
With Peace and Love,
Teacher Robyn, Teacher Jen, and Miss Amanda
