All of them involve your hands. That's how a lot of germs get in our bodies in the first place — whether it's a cold or the flu. Germs get on our hands and we put our hands in our eyes, noses, and, especially, our mouths. This is how people spread germs to others and ourselves.? Keep this in mind the next you put your hand in your eye, nose, or mouth!PTSOThe leading classroom for October’s Box Top War was Mrs. Stern’s fourth grade homeroom.

Parents are the first teachers that children have in life. A parent can become a tutor when a child is in school. While some children may need additional help from their teachers to retain and comprehend information, all children can benefit from tutoring. Parents are urged to read with their children and help them study, check over homework, ask questions about their studies and ultimately be their tutors. This can provide many benefits to the students. Among them include………Individual and unique learning experienceOne-on-one attentionImproves academic performanceImproved attitude towards learning and schoolImproved self-esteem and confidenceImproved work and study habitsPositive work spaceEncourages independence and responsibilityHelps overcome learning obstaclesEncourages the freedom to ask questions ................
