When we look at ourselves, we see that all our body from head to toes is covered with skin. Skin is everywhere, it protects our body from dirt and dangerous germs. If our skin gets dirty, we just wash it with water and soap. But let's say, you got a cut. Oh-oh! Your body is not protected! Dr. Zhanna taught us that we need to clean a wound with water to wash the dirt off, put an antibiotic ointment to kill germs, and then bandage the wound. The bandage will protect your body for sometime while new skin will grow. In class, we practiced taking care of each other's pretend wounds following Dr. Zhanna's guidelines.
We can't see germs, they are tiny but very mean. They make us sick. Germs are everywhere but we can be safe and healthy. We wash hands with soap before we getting ready to eat, coming back from playing outside, and after bathroom. Washing hands is easy as ABC.
This was a great unit to cover, especially this time of year, THANKS!
