Some emotional ABC's...
How do we overcome our frustration? Advice from Mrs. Marek's 1st Grade class:
Try to do something to make you happy. -Melanie
Think about something else that doesn't frustrate you. - Raelyn
Write down why you are frustrated or write something in ABC order. - Jeniah
Take deep breathes. - Tinslee
Talk to somebody about is so they can help you. - Alex
So the saying goes: Out of the mouth of babes. Great job 1st graders!
Achoo - it's the flu!
Dear Parents/Guardians:
We have had several of our students come down with the Flu. The school district is taking every precaution we can to help prevent the spread of the Flu and we need your help. Please remember to keep your children home if they are sick, if they have a fever greater than 100 F, if they are vomiting or having several episodes of diarrhea. We encourage everyone to continue to practice good hand hygiene and covering your cough and sneezes. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school or school nurse at 512-859-2173.
Thank you,
Granger ISD School Health
