Germ Free Classroom

The children learned how germs spread the first week of school.  Mrs. Montgomery got a handful of glitter and pretended to sneeze it on the children during group time.   The children saw that her germs would travel all the way to the back row during large group time.  We then put lotion on our hands (to make germs stick in our demonstration).  Mrs. Montgomery shook hands with one child and then had the children shake hands with their friends.  We discovered after shaking hands that almost everyone in our class would have caught the teacher's germs.  We learned how important it is to keep our hands washed.  We also practiced vampire sneezing and coughing into our elbow to keep germs from flying.

Oh, no.  Mrs. Montgomery's germs
