Location, Location, Location!!!!

with Mrs. Berry

WEEK OF October 8

Where in the world are we???

Here are some helpful hints for helping with our New IB unit:

· Look at maps (any kind!)

· Check the weather

· Go on Google Earth (so cool)

· Ask your child to describe the weather and what they should wear

Illness

In order to assist in preventing the spread of illness, students should not be given fever-reducing medication in order to return to school. In addition, the following guidelines have been established regarding the exclusion and readmission to school due to illness:

Diarrhea/Watery Stool

Vomiting

Fever (low or high grade)

Please do not send your child to school if they have had a fever in the past 24 hours. This means they are contagious. While Tylenol may help hold the fever for a few hours, the children are still contagious. Please keep them out of school- we want them in top shape to learn and grow!!
