All Children Will be Healthy and Ready for School by Age 5

 

Important Information Update!!!

Preparatory Kindergarten...

…an extra year for your child to be really ready for school.

Are you interested in a Preparatory Kindergarten class for your child?

* Would your child benefit from extra time before they are ready for a regular Kindergarten class? 

* Have you decided to hold off registering your child for Kindergarten in order to give her/him an extra year and more time to be “ready?”

* Would you like your child to start school when they turn 5, even if it is after the cut off date of Dec. 1st ?

Preparatory K may be the class for you!

The Black Oak Mine Unified School District is exploring beginning a Preparatory Kindergarten class beginning this August.  If you are interested, please call Drew Woodall, Director of Educational Services at 333-8300 or email him at dwoodall@bomusd.org.

Toddler Tip!
Hooray!! Nibble Tray!
Offer a nibble tray. Toddlers like to graze their way through a variety of foods, so why not offer them a customized smorgasbord? The first tip from the Sears' kitchen is to offer toddlers a nibble tray. Use an ice-cube tray, a muffin tin, or a compartmentalized dish, and put bite-size portions of colorful and nutritious foods in each section. Call these finger foods playful names that a two-year-old can appreciate, such as:
* apple moons (thinly sliced)
* avocado boats (a quarter of an  
   avocado)
* banana wheels
* broccoli trees (steamed broccoli
   florets)
* carrot swords (cooked and thinly
   sliced)
* cheese building blocks
* egg canoes (hard- boiled egg wedges)
* little O's (o-shaped cereal)
Place the food on an easy-to-reach table. As your toddler makes his rounds through the house, he can stop, sit down, nibble a bit, and, when he's done, continue on his way. These foods have a table-life of an hour or two.
NUTRITIP: Good Grazing – Good Behavior
A child's demeanor often parallels her eating patterns. Parents often notice that a toddler's behavior deteriorates toward the end of the morning or mid-afternoon. Notice the connection? Behavior is at its worst the longer they go without food. Grazing minimizes blood-sugar swings and lessens the resulting undesirable behavior.
