The YWCA Glee Club had a wonderful trip to Methodist Hospital in Park Slope, Brooklyn. YWCA staff, Americorps workers and YWCA Glee Club took a trip to the Hospital to brighten up the faces of children in the Emergency Care Unit, gave them toys and shared joyous songs with them! Students also got a tour of the hospital and gave the rest of the toys to the Pediatric Ward. Children had a great experience and the hospital staff were thoroughly impressed with our program.

What will you be when you grow up?

A doctor or a lawyer?

Many of the students at the UFT Charter School are not getting enough sleep. Sometimes they fall asleep in the classroom or are very irritable.  According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, sleep recommendations for school-age children and teenagers have changed and kids might not be getting enough rest.  The National Sleep Foundation found that kids who do not get enough sleep do not do as well in school and tend to have more behavior problems. Kids who do not rest well are at risk for obesity, frequent illness and autoimmune problems, too.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends elementary school-age kids get 10 to 11 hours of sleep until they are 10 years old or older, after that they need 8.5 to 9.25 hours daily.

One of the most helpful ways to help children sleep is to establish a regular bedtime.  A restful environment without much noise and light is also a good thing.  Many kids stay up to watch TV.  Parents need to help their children schedule TV viewing so that it ends before their bedtime.

The information was taken from an article written by Marilisa Kinney Sachteleben for the Yahoo! Contributor Network and edited by the Counseling Department.
