Today in science we reviewed how germs from our hands can be transferred to others. To demonstrate this, I sprinkled glitter(fake germs) onto one child's hand. Then he went around the circle and shook hands with every other child. We found out that everyone got a bit of glitter on their hands too. To help them remember, the children recorded their learning in their drawing books. First they copied the sentence, "I wash my hands." Then they worked with a partner to trace their hand, colour it and spread a little glue in the middle. To finish the job, I came around and sprinkled glitter on the glue.

what a neat idea! the kids get to visually see how germs are spread which helps a lot!

So true Lynn....nothing like seeing and feeling things to really cement the learning.
