As you can see we both cried. It was so beautiful. It was the best present ever, one from the heart. Children all week were giving us hugs and telling us "Dr. Jah, Mrs. Miller you are excellence." It was so cute.
The words to the song are below. They were written by Ms. Newsome.

Mrs. Tibbs and students learned about germs, diseases and microorganisms.
Debra Terrell, from NASA, came in to talk with students about microorganisms, germs, diseases, and some of the processes NASA uses to filtrate water for the Space Station. Then the girls let several swabs “grow” in petri dishes and observed how microscopic germs really do grow into nasty samples!

The students presented what they learned to a 3rd grade class They taught the class their "hand washing" song. Adapted from the song, "Let it go!" from the movie Frozen. |
Washing Your Hands
Washing your hands is an important task everyone must do several times a day. Each day millions of tiny germs can get on your hands, Increasing your chance of getting sick. Always remember to wash your hands before and after eating, after touching animals and using the restroom. (Don't just run your hands In water either)
Always lather with soap far at least 20 seconds. With flu season here its important to keep clean, and healthy
Wash With Soap
Wash with soap
Wash with soap
The germs can't get you anymore
Wash with soap
Wash with Soap
keep washing more and more
I don t care, about those evil germs
Let the faucet rain and
The soap doesn't bother me anyway
Mrs. Lindsey and Mrs. Mcknight's GEMs after school group looks like they are learning interesting things as well. I believe that looks like owl pellets!
