As every parent knows, a child that’s short on sleep can swing between being grumpy and hyperactive, with effects that can mimic ADHD. Sleepiness can also affect your child’s ability to pay attention, with ramifications for their performance in school. Even minimal sleep restriction can have effects on your child’s day-to-day life. Establishing a daily bedtime routine can have a huge impact on your child's overall health.
A typical bedtime routine might include:
*Turning off computers, TV screens, video games, and other bright lights
*Putting on pajamas and brushing teeth
*Reading a light book, singing a lullaby, or taking a bath
*Picking a stuffed animal or security blanket for the night for toddlers
The last STEM Saturday of the school year was the perfect way to spend this rainy day! Students used 3D Start+ Pens and coded with Ozobots. They learned about mixing colors and how rainbows are made. They planted seeds, made a graffiti wall, painted suncatchers, built train tracks and designed with IO blocks. We ended the day learning about exercise science and movement. We are so thankful for the collaboration between Explorer's Club, A+ Volunteers, Operation Backpack and Career Ladder that have made STEM Saturdays possible for our students.
Mrs. Hudson's class is learning how to make accurate graphs to represent data! Great work first graders!
Our 3rd graders were so excited to demonstrate their learning at the Famous Missourians Potato Museum.
Ms. Amey and her students really enjoyed their Royal Tea Party!
On Paraprofessional Appreciation Day we want to give a shout out to the support staff at the Elsberry R-2 School District. Paraprofessionals are educational rockstars who make everyday better for students. They inspire, encourage, instruct, motivate, and create relationships that last a lifetime. They're a big deal and our school is so lucky to have such an incredible team of paraprofessionals on staff.
Please join us for the ADHD Parent Panel on Thursday, April 10 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the elementary library.
Come join us in an informal conversation about ADHD. Is ADHD having a large impact on the your daily life and your family? How do families cope? What works well; what doesn’t? Is medication the only answer? How do you navigate medication? You are not alone on this journey. Come interact with a panel of honest parents, teachers, and community members for a discussion about ADHD. Feel free to join us for the first time or come to join us again to continue the conversation.
During March we had some volunteers from Community Opportunities come read to our kindergarten and first grade students in honor of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.
