December is here. The days are moving along very quickly. The month is full of exciting and fun things to do and see but we are trying to keep business as usual for as long as we can. Kids grow up very fast. Please take some time and read with your child every night. Try to find 10 minutes!!! It doesn't matter if you read to them or they read to you. Just READ!! Flu season is here and Texas has many flu cases. One of the top states in the country. If your child is sick, please keep them at home. They must be fever free, without medications, for 24 hours before returning to school. Classes have talked about hand washing, coughing into their elbow and staying healthy. Hand gel is being used by many people..ask your teacher if she wants you to donate a bottle. Plenty of sleep and water are very important too.
