Did You Know?

Healthy Minds need Healthy Bodies. One in four children does not get the sleep they need to sustain them through a day at school.  The following list is a guideline of how much sleep children need:

 Infants (4 to 12 months old) 12-16 hours 

Toddlers (1 to 2 years old) 11-14 hours 

Children (3 to 5 years old) 10-13 hours 

Children (6-12 years) 9-12 hours

Teenagers (13-18 years old) 8-10 hours

Please find attached two helpful links which provide information regarding the benefits of sleep to ensure the physical health and emotional wellbeing for our students.

Umbrella Project

As you know, students at Sandhills have been learning about Self-Compassion this month.

      1) I show self-compassion by doing my best.

     2) I show self-compassion by forgiving myself when I make mistakes.

     3) I show self-compassion when I ask for help from others.

You can keep up to date with all the latest information, tips and strategies regarding the traits we have learned about so far by visiting the website or checking out their Twitter and Facebook feed.
