Check Out These Clean Hands!

Check Out These Clean Hands!

You can help your students avoid getting sick & missing school by insisting they wash their hands properly and frequently. To get kids into the habit, teach by example. Wash your hands with your children and supervise their hand washing. Tell your students to wash their hands for as long as it takes them to sing their ABCs, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or the "Happy Birthday" song. It really does take that long to get your hands cleans!

Helpful Hint

Give students a

squirt of soap

as they leave

the room. That

keeps their

hands busy in

line and also

starts the 20

second rubbing

and scrubbing!
