Exercise Ernie and I spent last week in the Health Office, also known as "The Body Shop" with Mrs. J., our school nurse! The students that came in were really surprised to see us! It is a busy place with a lot going on! Many of the children that come in wash their hands. We learned that washing hands is the best way to stop germs from spreading and keep you from getting sick. These are the 5 steps to hand washing:
1. Run your hands under warm water.
2. Soap up your hands.3. Rub your hands together.
4. Rinse hands under warm water.
5. Dry hands with a paper towel.
We also learned how important it is to eat breakfast. Some students came in to the health office in the morning with headaches and stomach aches. They had not eaten breakfast. A car needs gas to run and people need food to keep their engines running! We saw students coming in right from the bus who had fallen on the sidewalk. They told Mrs. Jacco they were running. She told them they needed to walk from the bus into the school and down to their classrooms. Walking helps keep everyone safe. We hope we can come back soon to "The Body Shop"!
We LOVE Healthy Highway!
Love, Fitness Frankie and Exercise Ernie
