To end our week this week, we played with some friends from the Dogwood class outside in the cave area. The boys played hard by jumping off the cave, running back and forth, and getting to do some different kind of painting.
L and J picked up different colored spray bottles and began "painting" the coffee filters clipped on the rope.
"We have to spray away the germs!" L yelled. The boys began to furiously spray each filter.
"Go away germs!" J followed as he used the squirt bottle to cover the bright white filter with a new color.
"All the germs have to go away. We use the sprayer to make them go!"
"Yeah and wash our hands!"
"I wear a mask because the germs"
"I don't have my mask!"
"It's okay, we are outside. I think your mask is somewhere else."
All week the boys have done such an incredible job wearing there masks and remembering to put them back on after taking a break, drinking water, or eating snack. We talk a lot about the germs and how wearing masks and cleaning helps keep them away. At first, when the boys started spraying I was having a hard time connecting the dots between the colored water being sprayed and germs. Then it hit me! The boys help us clean in the classroom after we play with toys. They watch as we spray the cleaning solution onto the tables before and after we use them. Of course they are associating spray bottles with making germs go away!
Another great week and we are looking forward a little cooler weather next week! Have a great weekend 😊
