Today we learned about germs and washing our hands. Singing the ABCs is a good amount of time to wash those germs away! We also learned how easily germs are spread. Our craft reminded us to cover our mouth when we sneeze and cough.

Miss Lydia Leach read about Thanksgiving today. We passed around a turkey and shared our favorite food and what we are thankful for. Then we made a turkey out of our handprints! Happy Thanksgiving to all!
