I have a student with a severe peanut allergy. The problem is that I have been instructed to wash every piece of equipment he may come in contact with..quite a daunting task for a kindergarten class where I encourage sharing and students often touch as many as 50 pieces of equipment in a class period. Is there anyone with suggestions on how to accomodate this student without spending my entire planning period cleaning equipment. |

Depending on what your lesson plan is for the day, the night before I would clean only one piece of equipment and set it aside for that student. Sharing would be difficult but allergies can be very dangerous and I think the other students and that individual would understand. |

I too have a student with peanut allergies and there is nothing containing peanuts allowed in the gymnasium as a result. The best way to get rid of an allergy problem is to never let the cause of the allergic reaction come in contact with any equipment. I really don't need to worry about this seeing as the rest of the teachers pay so much attention to it because the real problem is in the main classrooms. I am allergic to Wasp and Yellow Jacket stings, so I know how dangerous allergies can be. I seriously hope that it never occurs in my PE classes (but it probably will).
