Mudras
Last week in yoga, we learned about "mudras." Mudras are symbolic gesture made with the hands in yoga. These hand movements stimulate the same parts of the brain as language. Some of the mudras we learned: namaste, lotus, bird, wisdom, and protection.
Ask your child....
what is a mudra?
can you teach me a mudra?
Maybe you can even invent some mudras together!
Namaste,

the littles | New Hampton daycare center
The downstairs just might be the place to be. The older kids gather there first thing in the morning, greeting the babies and reminiscing about toys from yesteryear. They often end the day there as well, reading books and listening to soft music. In between, these littles do their thing, guided and loved by Teacher Lisa, Miss Jess and Miss Audrey. Here are just a few from today:

Music Together!
Dear parents,
We are looking forward to a wonderful school year! I am pleased that we have been able to renew our agreement with Music Together and that Miss Mary will be with us on two mornings to ensure that 2 and 3 day a week children, both upstairs and downstairs, get to participate. Our contract requires the participation of all enrolled children. Music Together is developed at the Center for Music for Young Children in Princeton, NJ and has complemented preschool curriculum since the 1980s. This program is present in Montessori schools throughout the US, and we are very excited to have it here, in New Hampton. Feel free to check out the website to understand more about this program and how it enhances all learning.
The music fee for the school year is $175 per child and pays for all the materials and 30 weeks of participation. Payment should be made directly to "A Lakes Region Montessori" and is due on September 15th. Families needing an extension, please see me to work out an alternative. Last year, payments were made directly to Miss Mary, and, in that process, there were families who did not pay the fee. If you fall into this category, please make payment to ALRM with your September tuition.
We hope you will revel in the joy of family music!
Thank you!
Teacher Robyn

first day of school
The first day of school was a success! Old friends gathered on the playground; new friends quickly moved from being a tad shy to chasing classmates all over. Looking forward to a great year!
