Handwashing

Coming back from break we started our Nutrition unit! It started out with a lady coming from the University of Nebraska Extension Office to demonstrate handwashing. We got a special lotion to mimic fake germs and rubbed it all over our hands. Then we put our hands under a black light to see all the germs, washed properly, and saw how many germs were left and where we might have missed when washing!  

We get to keep learning about all kinds of different things dealing with Nutrition for the next couple of weeks! It's one of my favorite units to teach about because I learn just as much as the kids do!

Hand Washing in Kindergarten!

We've been so busy in Kindergarten that it's been hard to find time to get stuff up on the blog for you! But today I'm playing catch up, so there are a lot of posts coming your way!

First up, last Tuesday we had our hand washing demonstration in our room. The students got to put on lotion and put their hands underneath a black light to see the germs on their hands. After learning how to properly wash hands and for how long, they washed up and put their hands back under the light. Some of them got to see which parts they missed or need to spend more time on as the germs were still showing near lots of fingernails and thumbs! This was a fun experiment about body basics and staying healthy! Many more of these will be coming soon!

Then we took a quick quiz about what we do before we come to school in the morning!
