🦠🧼 Germs, germs everywhere! 🧼🦠

Mrs. Brittany's PreK scientists have been learning all about germs, how they spread, and how we can help stop them! 🔬👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

🔦 We used a black light to see germs on our hands before and after washing.

🧤 We practiced washing germs off gloves using soap and water.

🌶️ We used pepper as pretend germs and watched what happened when soap was introduced.

🎨 We got creative and made our own germs out of clay!

🧼👐 Through all of our hands-on experiments, we’re learning why washing our hands is one of the best ways to help keep germs away!

Our classroom has been a little messy, a lot of curious, and FULL of tiny scientists! 🥼🔬🦠💙

Learning + exploring + getting a little messy = the best kind of PreK science! ✨

Our art room is buzzing with creativity as students collaborate on a massive 6ft by 8ft "Singing Tree" mural. Inspired by the iconic, metallic patterns of Gustav Klimt, this collective masterpiece fuses swirling tree branches with a vibrant underwater world full of fish, coral, and aquatic life.
