10 Things Your Brain Requires to be Healthy and Ready to Learn
Sleep is another one of those 10 things that is incredibly important to your child's success at school. While your child is sleeping, their brain is processing all the new learning from the day and making connections to their prior knowledge. It is helping your child's new knowledge cement to their long-term memory. Sleep also allows the brain to reset and be ready and regulated for the next day.
A well-rested child is more likely to get to school on time too! Being at school on time for the morning announcements helps children feel like a part of the Olson community and grounds them for their day of learning. Let's get some zzzz's and be well-rested and Ready to Learn!
Would you like information about available community resources?
Are you willing to give your child the best start on their learning journey? VDELC is here to help!
