4K Healthy Lifestyles

Welcome back and we hope all of of you are ready for a enjoyable New Year!

If you haven't already experienced it in your classroom during this Winter, you know the Flu season is upon us and it shows when more and more students are absent from class with an illness. This also includes co-workers!

What a perfect time to go back through those activity lesson plans focusing instruction on handwashing and taking precautions to help lower the risk of illness in our classroom.

We have pulled together a few websites below touching on acitivity lessons to use in the classroom and handwashing posters to replace those older posters with above the bathroom sinks.

I hope this is helpful!
