Our next upcoming unit is about ticks and Lyme Disease. Students learned about what a tick is and how to identify one. Students learned ways to be safe around ticks by wearing bug spray, performing tick checks, wearing light colored clothes, wearing long pants/shirts and tucking in pants to socks if they would be in an area where ticks live. Kindergartens will be going home with a tick check laminated card. Please encourage and assist your child in daily tick checks especially after playing outside.
