We ended our Friday afternoon with a special guest. Nick Woodard from Learnin the Ropes presented an amazing assembly where he not only showed us really great jump rope tricks, he also spoke about the importance of finding your passion, working together and never giving up on your dreams!

We’re preparing for my favorite Kindergarten unit! 🚲🚲

The Bike Riding Unit is designed for Kindergarten and uses balance as the basis of learning before adding pedals. They will learn the balance used to ride instead of relying on training wheels.
After about three weeks of practice, they will transition into using pedals.

Each child will use a helmet that is sanitized after each use!

Please try to wear shorts or pants during the next six weeks.

It’s difficult to not get tangled in dresses.

I can’t wait to get started tomorrow!

Over time, poor sleep can lead to increased risk for obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, poor mental health, and even early death. For students, poor or limited sleep leads to headaches, stomach aches, off task behavior, and lack of ability to focus. (Sleep and Sleep Disorders, 2024)
