House Meeting
November Out
of the Blue
In November, Houses met on Tuesday, November 26. Over the holidays, many families gettogether and share in family traditions: visiting, cooking, eating, and playing games. We were
able to spend time with our House family playing games, just like you might have overThanksgiving. 4th and 5th grade students brought games from home to teach and play with
younger students. It is great to see our older students take a leadership role!

Sleep Tips for Your Children (From the National Institutes of Health):
Set a regular time for bed each night and stick to it.Establish a relaxing bedtime routine, such as giving your child a warm bath or reading him or her astory.Make after-dinner playtime a relaxing time. Too much activity close to bedtime can keep childrenawake.Avoid feeding children big meals close to bedtime.Avoid giving children anything with caffeine less than six hours before bedtime.Set the bedroom temperature so that it's comfortable – not too warm and not too cold.Make sure the bedroom is dark. If necessary, use a small nightlight.Keep the noise level low.
Notes from the Nurse
Sleep is vital to both children and adults. Children need 9-11 hours of sleep a night. Lack ofsleep may affect school performance, social relationships, and increase their risk of illness and
injury. Inadequate sleep decreases concentration, reaction time, and consolidation ofinformation learning. It also can increase behavior and mood problems. Adults who miss sleep
harm their health and can be hazardous on the road.
