What We've Learned About Kids and Sleep in 2015

Read about research on kids and sleep. Adequate sleep is so crucial for our children! Today in class, we learned all about Habit #7: Sharpen the Saw. Part of Sharpening Your Saw is taking care of your body, including getting plenty of sleep. Kindergartners should get 10-11 hours of sleep each night. So if you child is waking up at 6:30 a.m. for school, he/she should be asleep by 7:30-8:30. Click on the link below to read how crucial sleep is and how it affects behavior and the ability to focus.

#164Scottie Blitz

We were so very excited for our first ever #164Scottie Blitz. Teachers surprised their students at their homes over summer break with a #164Scottie T-shirt to get them pumped about the upcoming school year.  Not all were there, but I did make it to all of my students' homes. I loved meeting my new students!
