School is still in session until June 15th!

Just a quick reminder that although the weather feels like summer, we are still in school until June 15th.  The kids are still learning new information and we are still teaching :)   We don't want the kids to fall behind this late in the year, so please check their agenda books nightly to see what homework needs to be completed.  Thanks for all your cooperation and support!

Spring Concert

The Spring Concert is this Wednesday, May 16th at 6pm.
Students should come to Ms. Mazzeo's room at 5:30, but please do not come earlier.  Ms. Mazzeo and Mrs. Dowd will not be here before 5:30.  We are looking forward to hearing all of the wonderful singing voices and listening to the students play their recorders.

See you then!

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.
