'Tis the season to be snotty...

I wanted to let you all know that I was out yesterday with strep.  The doctor said that I was no longer contagious because it has been 24hrs since my first dose of antibiotics.  Apparently there has been a lot of viruses and other bugs going around recently and I wanted to make sure that you were aware and took appropriate precautions.  Below is a link to a video about how easily germs spread in the classroom and I thought today was a perfect day to share.
