This experience helped them build independence, confidence, and important life skills in a fun and memorable way.\r\n\r\nStudents also participated in a hygiene learning activity where they used glitter and lotion to represent germs during a handwashing lesson. This visual and interactive activity helped students clearly understand how germs spread and why proper handwashing is so important for staying healthy. The excitement and understanding that came from this activity made a lasting impact on our classroom.\r\n\r\nMy students and I are incredibly grateful for your support, belief in our work, and commitment to enriching student learning.
