Sharing ISN’T Caring…
There is a reason I don’t ever use the saying “Sharing is Caring”… here’s the reason – GERMS are NOT for sharing! (haha!)
When children start coming to school, their bodies are exposed to many different types of new germs, and it happens all year long. Throughout the school day, we work hard to encourage the children in our classroom to wash their hands thoroughly with warm water and soap (upon arriving at school, after using the bathroom, before we eat food, and after cleaning our noses). We disinfect our classroom materials and cots on a regular basis. We send sick children home so they can rest and recover. However, those pesky germs are EVERYWHERE no matter how hard we try to prevent them.
Here is a chart to help you remember when your child needs to stay home instead of bringing their germs to school to share with their classmates.
