So we've had quite the start to the "FLU SEASON" around the school. We've had so many teachers and students who've been out sick. There's been more and more kids at my school who've had to stay home, because they are sick with the swine flu and other things. With that in mind, we've also talked a lot to the kids about germs, how they spread and what we can do to prevent ourselves from getting sick. I am becoming more of a germ nazi...especially since I've been sick myself. I have the kids wipe down everything (desks, tables, door handles, drinking fountains and/or anything they've touch) twice a week with Clorax wipes. Also, we have a huge bottle of Germ-X right by the door and they use it each time they enter. Now that you have the background. This story hopefully will make you smile a little more. I was working with one of my 2nd graders on her letter names and sounds. She was drawing a picture for the letter "P". This time the word "pig" popped into her head! She was very content and serious with her pink crayon in hand when we had this little conversation....
S:Pigs are pink
Me: You're right they are pink
S: Pigs can kill you
Me: What do you mean they can kill you? Where did you hear that?
S: Everywhere....Pigs make you so sick that sometimes you can die. I don't want any germs from a pig! Right?
I did everything I could to not burst out in laughter. I guess the kids are learning something even though it's not their ABC's
