Our children desperately need rest mats. Our current mats have major tears after years of use. Many are duct taped together! Unfortunately, we do not have enough resources to purchase the mats because in doing so, it will take away so much from the budget meant for educational materials for small groups and math block. Many of our students catch the bus as early as 6:30 in the morning and and often come to school very tired and hungry. After lunch they are ready for rest time and nearly all of them go to sleep. Naps play are vital in a young child's development. Often, naps are necessary to help a young child reach their daily sleep requirement. Proper sleep helps improve cognitive skills, socio-emotional skills, and self-regulation.
