Seven of our classmates were out sick today with the flu. If you do the math that is slightly more than a third of our class! We wish our classmates a speedy recovery. In the meantime, we are taking measures to prevent the spread of flu in our room. Each table now has its own box of handi-wipes. Each student is dutifully wiping their hands ever time he or she returns to the room from recess, lunch, specialist etc. We're washing our hands at the sink as often as possible. We're continuing to wipe our tables down with the clorox wipes. And, of course, we're practicing good recipritory ettiquette by coughing into our shirt sleeves.
There are things you can do at home as well. Please make sure your child gets to bed at a decent hour. Sleepy bodies have a harder time fighting away bugs. Make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast trying to keep sugar at a minimum. Please send a
healthy snack with your child to school. Again, no sugar. Finally, if your child is sick, please keep him or her at home. Click
here for a letter from our school nurse to help you decide if your child's symptoms warrant a stay at home.
