Clean Hands

My students need to clean their hands when they come in from recess and lunch. With 36 students, there is not enough time for all of them to wash their hands at the sink.

My Students

Our school is currently going through a remodel with dirt and dust everywhere. When they come in from being outside, we need to clean our hands before we continue with our learning.

My students attend a visual and performing arts school.

Being dirty is ok except after recess we are still doing the core subjects so we need to have clean hands. I team teach with 2 other teachers so we don't have the time for all 110 students to wash their hands at a sink. When we have wipes to use it is a quick and easy process to have them clean their hands and get ready for the next class.

My Project

My students will have clean hands which makes a happy learning environment. It will help prevent them from getting sick and spreading germs due to their filthy hands. The students can clean their faces from the dirt which gets on them. It will make the teachers happy not to receive papers with dirt makes over it.

Please help me have students with clean hands.

I have seen many dirty hands the past five weeks as we have run out of wipes. Many papers are being turned in with dirt marks on them. Thanks in advance.
