f you like one of these recipes, recommend it to your school
cafeteria! They can be made at home or they can be multiplied to make
large amounts for use in a school cafeteria. All 10 recipes won a
contest held by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Let's Move, the
national effort to help kids get healthier.
Chic' Penne
Weld School District in Greeley, Colorado, created Chic' Penne, a dish full of cheesy, chicken-y goodness. Whole-wheat pasta and broccoli pump up the nutrition and black pepper gives it a little kick.biting
Biting
is a very common behavior among toddlers, which means there are a lot
of concerned parents out there. You are not alone. The good news is
that there is a lot that parents and caregivers can do to reduce and,
ultimately, eliminate biting.
To set the stage for effectively addressing this challenge, avoid calling or thinking of your child as a “biter” and ask others not to use this term. Labeling children can actually lead to them taking on the identity assigned to them, which can intensify biting behavior rather than eliminate it. Children bite in order to cope with a challenge or fulfill a need. For example, your child may be biting to express a strong feeling (like frustration), communicate a need for personal space (maybe another child is standing too close) or to satisfy a need for oral stimulation. Trying your best to understand the underlying cause of the biting will help you develop an effective response. This makes it more likely that you will be successful in eliminating the behavior. Click on one of the topics below to jump to that section: Why do toddlers bite?There are many reasons why toddlers might bite. Some are listed below. If you think one of these reasons might by why your child is biting, click the link to read specific strategies on how to respond. Toddlers might bite if they:
What can I do to prevent biting?As you watch your child at play, you can begin to anticipate when a bite might occur. The following questions can guide you identifying the kinds of situations often lead to biting:
If you see signs that your child might be on the verge of biting, you can:
Reading books about biting can also help. As you read, ask your child how the different characters might be feeling. If you have an older toddler, you can ask him to “read” the book to you, by telling you what is happening based on the pictures. Some titles to recommend include:
Remember, learning a new behavior takes time. Your
toddler may bite again, so continue watching playtime closely. It also
helps to use the same words (No biting. Biting hurts.) as consistently
as possible to emphasize the message.
Strategies for Responding to Biting Based on What’s Going On For Your Child The strategies below can help you respond based on your best guess about the reason your child is biting.
When do I seek help for my toddler? While biting is very common behavior, it usually stops by age 3 to 3 1/2. If your toddler continues to bite, or the number of bites increases instead of decreases over time, it is probably a good idea to request an assessment from a child development specialist. This professional can help you identify the reason for the biting and develop a strategy for addressing the behavior. Remember, there is no quick fix. Over time, and with assistance, your child will stop biting and use more appropriate ways to express her needs. What absolutely WILL NOT work to stop biting? Shaming or harsh punishment do not reduce biting, but they do increase your child’s fear and worry—which can actually increase biting incidents. Aggressive responses like these also do not teach your child the social skills he or she needs to cope with the situations that trigger biting. Biting your child back, which some might suggest, is not a useful response. There is no research to show this behavior reduces biting. However, it does teach your child that it’s okay to bite people when you are upset! Keep in mind that human bites can be dangerous, and biting constitutes child abuse. This is not an appropriate response to toddler biting. |

it is necessary that he begin preschool or child care in order to

is my
pleasure to welcome you to Holy Infant Catholic School. I hope
your visit will provide you with the information you seek, an understanding of our mission, and a snapshot
of our daily activities. Our tagline, “Educating
for Life’s Journey” and core values (Teaching Minds, Touching Hearts,
Training Leaders, Treasuring Tradition and Transforming Lives) reflect the
comprehensive education we endeavor to
provide at Holy Infant.
Sr. Rosario
As a
member of the Congregation of Irish Sisters of Mercy, it has been my privilege
to serve the Holy Infant Catholic School community for over four decades – to
watch its growth and development and to accompany so many students on their
educational and spiritual journeys. One
thing that has never changed is the swell of emotion that I feel when I walk
our school hallways in the mornings and hear students and teachers praying
together during their “Spiritual Bonding Time”.
After reciting their formal prayers, the students pray for their needs
and the needs of others, from grandma’s knee surgery to the new puppy at
home. I am grateful to have the honor of
assisting parents in nurturing the faith dimension of their children’s lives
as, together, we strive to teach as Jesus did – in faith, with love and
respect.
Partnering
with parents, we challenge students to engage in learning that will prepare
them to take their place successfully in the twenty-first century. To that end, instructional technology is
incorporated into classroom instruction at all levels. SmartBoards and MimioTeach Interactive
Whiteboards are used in most classrooms and teachers in all grades will have
access to our new iPad mobile lab.
Thank you
for your interest in Holy Infant Catholic School. We welcome you as “companions on the
journey”. We ask for God’s blessing as we continue our tradition of excellence
in preparing our youth for the journey of a lifetime.
