Sierra School Scoop

Hello Dragons

It sure has been crazy weather lately. With the heatwave last week we had a few mishaps with melted crayons on books not kept in their books bags. Please remind your kiddo to keep their library books in their plastic library book bag to protect it from open water bottles, food, and the dreaded melted crayons. Please make sure to also remind students to return their books each week on their scheduled library day. If books have been out for 2 weeks or more, email and phone call reminders will go out. We have many kiddos waiting patiently for books to come back so they can check them out. Thank you for your help with this. The last day for AR quizzes is September 30th. Our first set of prizes will go out in the beginning of October. Remember good things happen when you read!!

Miss Dora

Can you guess what children secretly want from their parents?

HINT: It’s FUN and FREE!

You guessed it, kids want 1:1 attention/time with parents/caregivers!

Research shows children who spend quality time with their families develop secure attachments/trust/greater emotional bonding, have fewer adolescent behavioral problems, are more successful academically, report being more happy, have a reduced chance of teen pregnancy and substance abuse. So many great reasons to create space for family time!

Here are some ideas to build positive connections with your child(ren)/family:

• Bedtime Stories

• Doing chores Together

• Cooking Dinner Together

• Movie Night!

• Outside Scavenger Hunt

• Park Day!

• Picnic Dinner

• Backyard Sleep Out!

• Game Night!

• Nature Walk/Walk the Dog

Let’s make it a great week everyone! Love, Miss Alissa.
