Monday's Tattler

Good morning to all you sleepy heads! Brave New Week starting...please please please keep an eye on your child's throat this week. We have had ten cases of Strep, and it's a bad one.

If your child is behaving strangely...sleeping too much...not eating...puny...and muley...check his throat...he may not be able to tell you, and even if he or she does not run a temperature, he is in danger. Strep can drop into the kidneys and cause permanent damage. Please, please, please be aware!

This week we begin a week of science with a new health game. We will be playing the game for six weeks. The object of the game is to bravely try new things...jumping, swinging, climbing, eating new things, speaking up, answering a question, and many more. Every day, we will present a new challenge. Every child will be issued a game piece - a clothespin with his name on it. This clothespin will move around the game board. If a child does not make the challenge, we will try again in a couple of days so that everyone is fully engaged in the game.

We hope this is a fun activity for the kids and that they learn a lot about being independent.

We will be keeping a health book along with our game to be taken home at the end of science.

Have a great week!
