Are your children getting as much sleep as you did at their age? Are they getting enough sleep for optimal health and learning? Probably not. Studies have shown that today's children sleep as much as 5 hours less than their parents did at their age. Why is this happening and what can we do about it?

 Here at eLearningK12 we believe the last hour of the day, just before bedtime, should be a time of peace and relaxation in the home, giving a smooth transition from the hectic day to a restful night. In each issue of InBox Learning, we'll present an unplugged, non-electronic activity you can enjoy as a family during this hour.
Our first Unplugged Pick of the Week is a cross-generational board game everyone in your family can play--checkers! You've probably got a checkers game at home already. If you need a refresher on how to play, visit Tutorial.com's Learn2Play Checkers for instructions and tips to make your own set if you don't have one. Checkers is an all-time  favorite among eLearningK12 students. We hope your family enjoys checkers during your new unplugged hour before bedtime! |
