Advice on books

by Cyret4IN

Mar 5, 2015

I have been invited to a friend's daughter in law's baby shower. They want each person to bring a book. Any suggestions? Is this idea popular now? Help!

Cheryl H. I've not heard of this as a "thing" for shower gifts but did read an article recently. Is the request for a book in lieu of a gift or a book in lieu of a CARD? (I've attached the link to the article I read below).

I'm thinking it may be for a book?

Cheryl H. Hi Misha! There are a few things you can try, but first, would you share what your current routine is (i.e. what happens before lunch, after, etc.?)?

Oct 30, 2014

I have a few students who do not need as much sleep as others. Some can lay quietly but others are disruptive. I need some ideas on what to do with those other students. Some parents are actually asking us to not let their 3 year old sleep because they have trouble going to sleep at night. If we let one up then problems will happen. Please help!

Cheryl Hey Michelle, This is always a tricky thing, isn't it? Do you have a classroom that the "non" sleepers could rest in?

In one program I worked in, all the children napped in the same room and, like you, we had many who no longer needed as much sleep (or any sleep) such as our prek kids and some of our older threes.
