Ways to Sleep Better at Night

In honor of our NJASK testing next week, our students came up some ways they could get a better night sleep.  Here are their ideas:

Use earplugs.

Go to sleep early.

Don’t eat sweets too close to bed.

Get all of your energy out earlier.

Ask parents and siblings to be quieter at night.

Shut off the lights.

Close the bedroom door.

Take deep breaths.

Count sheep.

Snuggle deep into the covers.

Cuddle with my pets or stuffed animals.

Listen to quiet music.

Do a lot of activities during the day.

Don’t have any sleepovers before tests.

Sleep in a little later.

Don’t drink any soda after dinner.

Stare at the ceiling or wall.

Read a book in bed.

Don’t bring an ipod or cell phone to bed.

Close your eyes and think happy thoughts.

Drink warm milk.

Think about things you like to do.

Callie received her cards!

I received an email from Callie's mom.  She said Callie received her latest batch of cards from us and was so excited!  Her mother, Kathryn, sat with Callie and read each card to her.  She especially loved the 'little bitty bunny card" and all of the drawings you all did for her.  Callie said,  "Awwwwwweeeee Mommy look!  A baby bunny!"  She was excited to see a 'bunny dragon' drawing, since she loves dragons.  I have a special surprise for each of you when we get back to school on Monday.  Callie and her mother sent US a package!  Here is Callie's picture with the 'window jellies' that we sent in her package with the cards.  Look at how much her hair has grown and that sweet smile :
