Recordatorio:
Reunión de padres con estudiantes en 7mo a 12mo grado – Martes 25 de agosto a las 7:00 PM.
Ha sido traído a nuestra atención que hay estudiantes trayendo quenepas al colegio y hasta han compartido con sus compañeros. Algunos padres nos han
notificado lo mismo. Les pedimos que no les permitan a sus hijos traer quenepas al colegio, son peligro de atragantamiento. Favor enviar meriendas
saludables y seguras.
A continuación información importante sobre el peligro de los alimentos que presentan peligro de atragantamiento en niños.
*Food choking hazards and children: What parents need to know***
> Children of all ages are susceptible to choking, but kids younger than 5 are especially vulnerable because they have fewer (and smaller) molars, weaker chewing
ability, and narrower airways than older children and adults.
> Most children under the age of 4 don’t understand the need to chew thoroughly or to spit the item out.
> Top food choking hazards are candy and gum, which have sent thousands of children to emergency rooms in recent years. But foods of all shapes and textures--
including some of the healthiest fruits and vegetables—present hazards.
> Choking occurs when food (or any object) becomes caught in the throat and blocks air from getting to the lungs--and oxygen from getting to the brain.
> Food pieces that are too large can simply block off the airway. But even a small item, such as a peanut, can put more of a young child's respiratory system in
jeopardy, since a child's airway tends to be narrower. A blockage
down low can cause part of a lung to collapse, and because that portion of the lung is unable to clear secretions, infections such as pneumonia can develop behind
the blockage. While choking in children causes 100 times more injuries than it does deaths, parents should remember that some injuries can lead to permanent
brain damage.
*POTENTIAL HAZARDS*
Here are some foods to watch out for:
> *Rounded, small, or slippery foods.* They can slip right down the throat and lodge at a narrowed spot. Such foods include baby carrots, whole grapes, whole
olives, and raisins. [If you choose to give your child grapes, please peel and slice them. Whole grapes can cause choking.}
> *Cherries with pits. *
> *Firm, but pliable, foods.* Items like hot dogs, sausages, and frozen banana pieces can conform to the shape of the throat and lodge there.
> *Light, dry foods.* Snacks such as popcorn, tortilla chips, potato chips, and pretzels can get stuck in the throat, as can hard produce (including those with tough
or dry skins), such as raw apples and carrots.
> *Chewy, sticky foods.* These might not be manageable for *very young children*. They include caramels, gum, gummy bears, fruit "leather" (such as Roll-
Ups), dollops of peanut butter, and cheese slices or cubes. [Gum
should not be chewed while playing sports.]
> *Hard candy.*
> *Stringy foods*, like celery or spaghetti, may also be hard for little ones to manage. (Pasta should be cooked until soft.)
> *If a food is tough to chew,* like steak or bagels, children might try to swallow pieces whole--an obvious hazard. Steak, chicken, or other meats with bones are
also hazardous.

Welcome to Mr. Ruiz’ Technology class. This week we will be working with Technokids, computer lessons that allow the students apply their knowledge
to analyze information, collaborate, solve problems, and make decisions.
Important note for parents with students in Kinder to 11th grade: Please make sure to pay your child’s TechnoKids license so he or she will be ready
for the class. I will be assigning the username and password for the eBook license only to the kids that already paid for it.
Thank you for your support,
Mr. R. Ruiz
Technology Teacher
Para su información:
El programa TECHNOKids está diseñado por niveles y consiste en el aprendizaje de la informática a través de “Project Based Learning”, donde se les
enseña a los estudiantes el uso apropiado de las computadoras e internet, así como el uso de herramientas de Microsoft en escenarios y tareas aplicadas a la
vida real.
A diferencia de otros currículos de informática, TECHNOKids integra las materias escolares regulares como el Inglés, Matemática, Arte, Ciencia e Historia.
La filosofía de TECHNOKids es enseñar a los estudiantes una forma divertida y entretenida a la misma vez que los preparamos responsablemente para su
futuro académico y profesional. Los estudiantes, a través de estos proyectos, resolverán problemas y representarán un rol en el que aprenderán sobre el
trabajo que se realiza en distintas profesiones, convirtiéndose así en escritores, reporteros, artistas, etc. TECHNOKids es un currículo que integra la
tecnología al salón de clases de una manera más interactiva, multimedia y de descargue “on-line”. De esta manera podrá ser utilizado tanto en el salón de
