Special Visitor

We started our nutrition lessons today.  Mrs. Zapata will be visiting our classroom on Wednesdays from now until mid-February to teach us about physical activity, food groups, and healthy foods.  Today she talked with us about germs and the importance of washing our hands.  We loved meeting her puppet named "Bac" (bacteria) and doing some pretending with him!  Mrs. Zapata put lotion on our hands to represent germs and then let us look at the "germs" on our hands under a black light.  This was really cool and helped us better understand that there are many germs on our hands, even though we can't see them!

Look closely and you will see the "germs" on our hands under the black light!
