FINALLY...

The past couple of weeks have been terrible! I don't know if it was all the sickness, my "new" assistant, full moon, me or what but my class was not a happy place to be. Yesterday, we had the best day EVER!!!!! I think the curse is finally broken LOL Today was good, too. We have been talking a lot about germs, sickness, covering our sneezes and so forth. Then the news came that we had to submit a science project. I decided to do the cool project about germs, hand washing and such. We put this "special" lotion on our hands to simulate germs. We looked at our hands under a black light. GROSS! The kids freaked out but it was so cool. We then washed our hands and took another look under the light. Most kids thought that they'd washed their hands really good but the germs still showed up under the black light. It really got the message across that hand washing is more than just a quick rinse.
