10-19 Newsletter

Keep up the homework at home this week! Remember to check your child’s reading log as well as the planner. I’ve had a parent request for a homework packet similar to those used at the Deer Park Elementary. I will be looking into that. Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions on how to make homework consistent and accountable.
Food Sense: We will be beginning a series of lessons on Food Sense. They will occur once a month throughout the year. We will have extra activities as well. P.S. Does anyone know a French chef?
Harvest Party: we will have a class party later this month. I will be sending home a notice about what you might share, times, etc.
Sickness: Please keep your child home if they have symptoms similar to seasonal flu symptoms, include rapid onset of fever with cough and/or sore throat. Some people may also have diarrhea and vomiting. If your child or any family member experiences these symptoms, stay home until symptoms have diminished and they have been free of fever (less then 100°F, without using fever reducing medication) for at least 24 hours or as directed by your health care provider. To protect yourself and your family against H1N1 influenza, as well as seasonal influenza, and to help prevent the spread of disease, teach your children to:
- Wash their hands often.
- Cough or sneeze into their sleeve/elbow not into their hands.
- Cover their nose and mouth when sneezing, coughing or blowing their nose.
- Promptly dispose of used tissues and wash hands with soap and water.
- Not share food, utensils or beverages with others.
- Avoid close contact with sick people.
Thank you for all your support,
