Prior to beginning work on this discussion, review the Illness Flyer example Download Illness Flyer example.
• Using the classroom age group Toddlers aged 1-3, create a flyer or poster to share with parents addressing the following standard: There is a clear plan for responding to illness, including how to decide whether a child needs to go home and how families will be notified.
• Based on the information in Chapter 6 of the Gadizikowki (2013) text, create a classroom poster relaying the information necessary to let parents know the policy and procedures if a child is sick at school. Use Microsoft Word, Publisher, PowerPoint, or another program of your choice to create this poster.
Be sure your poster includes the following items:
• All possible symptoms that would warrant a call (including temperature).
• The amount of time parents are given to pick up their child after they receive a call.
• A clear plan that will be followed if the parents cannot be reached.
• How the child will be cared for until pick up.
• Consequences for parents who are non-compliant.
• Be sure to include one image to represent the content. How the child will be taken care of until they are picked up.
• What happens when parents don’t follow the rules.
Make sure to use at least one image to show what the content is about.
Be creative with your poster, but also be sure to develop your content in a professional classroom manner. Make sure it is organized, colorful, and easy to follow. As a reminder, this will be distributed to parents and displayed in the classroom, therefore it must be free of grammatical errors. Please see the attached PDF to see an example of this flyer.
