2 types of coughs – Throat caused by postnasal drip and Chest caused by lung inflammation

1. Starts out as Viral but may be related to Allergies or Asthma

2. It may or may not be accompanied by fever

3. Can last up to 6-8 weeks

4. Cough may present as dry, hacky, seal-like barky (Croup) and persistent

Some suggestions that may help…

1. Warm Tea with Honey, Lemon or Ginger

2. Honey by the spoonful

3. Using humidifiers

4. Drinking fluids – stay away from carbonated beverages

5. Saline Nasal sprays

6. Cough drops – something menthol/not sweet, chewing gum

7. Warm showers

8. Gargling with warm salt water or drinking some warm salt water to help dissolve mucus and soothe irritated tissue (Viruses can make airways swell)

9. Avoid smoke-filled rooms, pollens and a lot of dust

• If your child’s cough is persistent to the point they are unavailable for learning and it’s quite disruptive to the rest of the classroom, you will be asked to pick them up.

• You should revisit the doctor if fever appears/reappears and cough worsens. Unfortunately, it is expected that some children will repeat this cycle all winter long due to the many viruses that are out there.

Attention parents! Our Lost and Found is overflowing! Check out this video to see for yourself! If your child has lost anything- sweatshirt, jacket, coat, hat, gloves, water bottle, lunch container, snow pants - you name it, we have it! Please have your child take a look before winter break. Thank you!

All of our Richmond classes have earned their first Golden Tiger Head Classroom Celebration. Tiger Heads are a part of our Richmond building-wide positive behavior system. Classrooms earn a Tiger Head by following Richmond's expectations of being respectful, responsible and safe. Golden Tiger Heads are unique because it means that a class has consistently demonstrated that they can follow school expectations and has earned a special reward. Ask your child how they earned and celebrated their first Golden Tiger Head!

In addition to Tiger Paws, students also have an opportunity to be recognized individually with Tiger Buck’s for following Richmond's expectations of being respectful, responsible and safe. Students can choose to spend their Tiger Bucks on various items and experiences with Richmond teachers and staff here. We want to thank our Davis-Richmond PTO for their support of our Tiger Buck monthly raffle through their generous donations or Target gift card, recess equipment and Davis-Richmond Spirit wear.

The PE classes are playing a Tchoukball unit. The game originated in Switzerland and is played similar to team handball. It is a fast paced game where team's score by throwing the ball against a rebound net. If the opposing team doesn't catch the ball off the rebound net the throwing team earns a point. Richmond has also enjoyed using the Railyard Fitness System that is shared with every other elementary school in the district. This equipment consists of several step boxes and large balance beams that can be used in a variety of ways. The students have used it as fitness equipment to step and jump on and over as well as platforms to traverse and balance on. Another way this equipment is used is to add new dimensions to some of our students' favorite games. As PE teachers, we truly enjoy the versatility of this equipment, and the students look forward to using it every year.

In music for December, all grades will be studying the music from The Nutcracker ballet. They will be doing things like using tennis balls, paper plates, and parachutes while listening to the different pieces of this timeless winter work. The students are working hard as a team, and applying the music terms they've learned so far this year.

The Richmond Kindness Club will be sponsoring a Mitten Drive from November 27 through December 22. Donations will go to Richmond students as well as other local programs in need. If you choose to make a donation, mittens may be dropped off in the Richmond office. Thank you kindness club for spreading kindness to others!
