Sleep is a basic need for everyone. Getting a good night’s sleep is vital for kids. It is needed to help them develop well and perform their best. School-age kids need 10-12 hours of sleep a night. Many kids are getting less than this. Signs that a child may not be getting enough sleep are: Short attention span Yawning Drowsy Hyper-active Cranky Most kids will resist bedtime but parents should be firm. Here is what parents can do to help kids sleep longer and better: Have dinner and after school activities early in the evening No screens in the bedroom. This includes TV, computers, phones and games Bedrooms should be cool (less than 24C) House should be quiet Have the same bedtime routine every night (bath, reading before bed or quiet time, lights out) Parents can be great role models and get a good night’s sleep too.

Teacher Notes for this week
Ms Myers: This week in Grade 1…. Happy New Year! The children have written some worthwhile “resolutions” to start off 2015! In math this week we will work on linear measurement and in language we will focus on rhyming word families. The “Wonderful Ones” have been asked to lead morning prayer on the announcements. If your child is involved in this, please practice with them the night before!
M Girard:
Ms Rupnik’s class: While writing in our journals this week, we will revisit our writing goals we set early in September and make some adjustments if necessary. We welcome Marisa Patterson, a student teacher, from the University of Nipissing to our class. She will work with us for 4 consecutive weeks. In our Social Language program, we will role-play how to say thank-you. You may want to practise this skill at home too.
