  Case: Smelling of Animals and Body Order
I have a set of twins in my classroom that smell of cat urine and body order. They preform well and their parents seem to care about their academic goals. However, I am worried about their hygiene. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not think it would be appropriate to make any immediate decisions such as talking with the student or contacting the parents about the animal odor. Especially if the student is performing well and the parents are involved. I would keep personal hygiene items such as deodorant, mouthwash, extra clothes, etc. for all students to use if needed. I would also incorporate a mini lesson about personal hygiene and ways in which we can keep our bodies clean and healthy.
