Third graders in Room 221 read an article from Time for Kids about sleep today. We learned that many children do not get enough sleep because they are so busy or because they do stimulating things like watching television before going to bed. The article said that school age kids should get 9 - 10 1/2 hours sleep per night so that their brains are able to function at an optimum level. Children who get less sleep tend to have issues with memory and concentration.
Your children will continue their thinking about sleep by creating a line graph showing their own sleep habits. Each school night they will pay attention to the time they go to bed (lights out, covers up) so they can plot it on their line graph. We will look at the results in a few weeks and reflect on what we notice.
Please do your part by helping your child to get to bed at a reasonable time!
