LINES FROM THE LIBRARY
Many students at WCS are participating in Global Read Aloud again this year! 3rd-5th grade students are currently reading Dragons in a Bag by Zetta Elliott as a wing. They have been enjoying the book in their classrooms with their teacher and virtual guest readers. 1st-5th graders are participating in GRA with Duncan Tonatiuh’s picture books in the library. Through these books, we have connected with each other and students all over the world via Padlet. It’s a fun way to show how books can connect us!
HEALTHY HIGHLIGHTS
November 1st & 2nd WCS will be hosting a dental clinic right here and if your student has not seen a dentist and you would like them to be seen, there is still time to complete a registration form. Just contact the office and we will make sure you get the paperwork necessary to make this happen.
*****
Peanuts, Milk, Allergies, Halloween, candy, cookies..... what do all of these have in common? I know I have written this before, but it is important enough that it is worth repeating. We are a nut-safe school, meaning we are asking that no nuts/nut products are to come into school. If you have never had any experience with these allergies before, I can share that sometimes children can be so allergic to just the dust particles in the air from someone else eating something with nuts in it that it can bring on an allergic reaction. This means that they do not have to ingest it to be seriously ill. Please think about this as you pack your child's lunch, and snacks and do not send in things to share with the entire class. Read the labels and if it contains nuts I urge you to have them eat it at home. I have seen peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter cups, and nuts in school recently. While this dietary restriction may only affect a small number of students, each lunch period needs to be mindful that these allergies exist. We will continue to do all we can to keep each child safe, and your help in this matter is seriously appreciated. ~Nurse Sherwood
