Our science lesson today was “The importance of washing hands”. Using hand lotion and glitter(germs), the children saw how easily germs can spread if we

don't wash our hands well. We also took 4 pieces of bread. One was coughed on, one was touched with washed hands, one was touched with dirty hands , and the last piece was not touched at all. We are going to wait and see if the bread grows mold faster on the dirty pieces....the children predicted the coughed on piece would grow mold the fastest.

The children learned that God Made Animals. The children named as many different animals as they could and the. We talked about how animals help us.

Gym fun with Mrs. Beyer’s Class!
