Happy Halloween Teachers! This spooky month is one of the best months to be a teacher, in my opinion! Great art projects, fun bulletin boards and seeing your kiddos in costume make this month so much fun. October is also a great time to focus on hygiene and infection control. What can be scarier than germs lurking around your classroom?!? Frankenstein and Dracula come once a year but bacteria, viruses and other germs are always around us! This month is the start of the sick season so hand washing and other hygiene principles are important to emphasize. There are some great activities this month that can be done this month to remind your students about the importance of being clean at school and home. Here are a few ideas for you this month for a few different areas of teaching:
The OUTFOX Prevention system also has a great lesson plan for Halloween! Find "Germy Halloween" in your manual or at this link: Germy Halloween Lesson You can find great games, activities, songs and so forth that will enhance your infection control lesson for your class! Happy Haunting Germs! Mrs. T |
