Science in Mrs. D's Room

We are learning about the food groups. The vegetables help you see. The fruits help you get healthy. It has vitamin A in it. The milk group helps you to have strong bones and strong teeth. The milk group has calcium. The meat group has protein. Peanut butter is in the meat group. It has protein in it. That's why it is with the meat group. The wheat group gives you energy. We also learned about Sickie Steven. Someone in our class must have been a Sickie Steven. We are learning about germs. Germs have friends and enemies. Best friends of germs are those people who forget to wash their hands and pick their noses. Enemies of germs are those people who wash their hands with soap and don't pick their noses. You should wash your hands with soap for about 45 seconds or more. The soap doesn't let the germs hang on. Also dry your hands. Our school nurse read us the book called Germs, Germs, Germs. If you fall down and get hurt, wash it with water right away. Put medicine on it. It might get infected if you don't clean it. Sorry people, but infections hurt us. Always cover a sneeze and when you cough. I hope all of our class stays healthy -- not Sickie Steven.
