Third graders in Ms. Aluise’s class learned all about the importance of handwashing with the help of Nurse Brown! 🧼✨ Students discovered that keeping germs away means washing with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. We even did a germ experiment—and wow! We could really see what happens when guidelines aren’t followed. Learning (and staying healthy) can be fun!
These are from two math classes and we are learning about ordering positive and negative numbers. Students had a set amount of time, and couldn’t talk to each other, to get in the correct order for a number line representing positive and negative numbers.
SNOW DAY FLASH SALE! ONE DAY ONLY! Early Bird Sale!
