It looks like the Kindergartners are ready for a change in our rest time! While everyone still benefits from some quiet time, very few children are falling asleep in recent weeks. We have decided to change this time from “Rest Time” to “Quiet Time”. Beginning tomorrow, children may bring something quiet from home to do during rest time. Coloring books, spiral notebooks for writing or drawing, and books or magazines to read would all be good choices. Children may NOT bring toys to play with. Quiet time activities will be kept in the children‘s backpacks or cubbies. It is your child’s responsibility to take care of these things and be sure he/she has something to do. I will not be providing activities for this time.

This should provide a nice change of pace for the class after lunch. They will still have some quiet time to unwind, but will not have to just lay on their mats. Simply resting, of course, will always be an option.

I would appreciate it if you would help your child select an appropriate activity to bring for our quiet time. Thank you!!
