Snowflake, our classroom elf, sent to us by Santa himself, must have been missing the North Pole because yesterday we found her cuddled up next to our polar bear.
This morning, she and Saint Nicholas, were watching over our little sock Baby Jesus.
It made our heart melt!
Here I am, in my own 'proud mama' moment.
My youngest son, Aran, came to our class to present to the students and explain why it is so important to wash their hands often. He is in first year Pharmacy at the U of A.
He brought some stuffed 'germs' and the kids were in love!
These germs didn't scare them! It was quite the opposite! They all wanted to hold the 'ear ache'
'stomach ache',
'common cold' and
'sore throat' germs....which are about one million times bigger than their real life counterparts.
After discussions, and demonstrations, and explanations, the students lined up and got a tiny bit of the Glo-Germ gel, on their hands. and then followed the six step process of washing their hands. I am so glad I have a sink in my classroom!
Using a UV flashlight, their hands were checked after the 'wash-up' and they received their
official hand washing certificate. You might have noticed that there was a letter for you in their Kanga pouches along with a little activity book to keep at home.
I hope that this lesson, will keep those nasty germs away from our classroom, and all of our kiddos healthy!
