Keeping it Clean

Last week, we finished up our study of personal hygiene.  We finished our hygiene packets (your student should have theirs if you would like to see what we learned about!)  We will have a hand washing review tomorrow. 

The students loved getting ICKY with our in-class hand washing activity.  This activity used cinnamon and oil to mimic germs.  We had one group use cold water and no soap, one group use warm water and no soap, and we had one group use warm water and soap.  We took data on which group most efficiently cleared the germs!

Here are some pictures of our germy hands.

This week, we are learning about PATRIOTISM.  We will also be learning about social issues, geometric shapes (rotating and fitting them into a space), story plots and plants.

 

We definitely have a big week ahead!  I hope everyone had a restful long weekend. :)
