We hope everyone got a chance to eat some muffins and spend a little extra time with your children this morning. From all of us at Rice Children’s Campus, we want to wish you a very “Happy Mother’s Day” and hope that Sunday is a special day for each and every one of you!
Our administrative staff was privileged to hear Dr. Bruce Perry with The ChildTrauma Academy speak at The Council on Alcohol and Drugs Houston today!! The discussion involved the impact of trauma and neglect on the developing child. It was very inspiring and motivational. We are so grateful that he was able to share his knowledge with us!!
Help us celebrate the Week of the Young Child!! The WOYC is a celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) that focuses on the needs of young children, their families, and early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. We will be having special activities throughout the week of April 23-27th!! Parents are invited to sign up to be guest readers, share a family tradition, or spend time in the class with their child. Please let the teachers know if you will be joining your child for lunch on Friday. The schedule for the week is as follows:
Monday – Wear Purple
Tuesday – Pajama Day
Wednesday – Stuffed Animal Day
Thursday – Silly Sock Day
Friday – Join your child for lunch
Today we are celebrating Earth Day at Rice Childrens Campus!! It is important to teach our children about the influence we have on the limited resources from our planet. Some of the ways to raise awareness include picking up trash on the playground, recycling garbage at home, or planting a tree!!
It’s that time of year again! Daylight Savings Time is scheduled for this Sunday, March 11th. Please remember to set your clocks ahead one hour!
PLEASE NOTE: Getting an extra hour of daylight in the evening is sometimes a hard adjustment for children. Their bodies and minds need a couple of weeks to adjust to the darker mornings and lighter evenings. It is harder to get them to sleep at their usual bedtimes until they become accustomed to this change. Keeping routines consistent can be very helpful for both you and your child.
Don’t forget to wear your favorite Houston Texans attire to school tomorrow for Go Texans Football Day!! We will be showing our support for our hometown team in the playoffs!!
