Miss Tracey's Class
September 2014
Welcome and Thanks
Thanks to all, for your patience and understanding as we settle into a new school year, adjust to new routines, and get to know all of our new, little friends. We are grateful for your support.
During the short time we had in August, we learned about our friends in class and just being back in school. Coming up in September, we will be focusing on ourselves, as well as continuing to focus on our friends. We will also be using a Sports theme as an avenue to building skills such as comparing/contrasting, sorting, following directions, and numeracy concepts, to close out the month.

Survey
Food Allergies
The following was important information sent to Brooks School families who "subscribe" to the Brooks School listserv. I thought this was important information to share with our families, in case you are not a part of the Brooks School listserv.

Dear BSE Parents,
Please take a few minutes to read the following information regarding food allergies. Our intent is to increase awareness of this potentially life threatening health concern and its increasing prevalence in our school.
- Approximately 8% of children under age three and 6-8% of school-age children are affected by food allergies.
- There has been an 18% increase in food allergy between 1997 and 2007 according to a study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- Any food can potentially cause an allergic reaction, but eight foods are known to cause 90% of food allergic reactions: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans), wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish.
- The severity of an allergic reaction can vary from mild symptoms to severe life threatening reactions. Some students can be very sensitive and may even react by inhaling or touching the food allergen.
- There is no cure for food allergies. Students must totally avoid their food allergens to prevent an allergic reaction. In the school setting education, awareness, and preventative measures must be in place.
