Hand-Washing Posters

Students have completed their hand-washing posters. We followed a success criteria and used the explanation writing format to write about how and why we wash our hands. Students learned about important features like photos with captions and sequencing words to put the hand washing steps in orders. Students read stories and discussed the health benefits of keeping our hands clean. 

We followed a checklist to help keep us on track. We also wrote a rough draft before creating our good copy using the iPads. Students are learning through the editing process. We worked on how to check our own work for errors like punctuation, capitalization and misspelled words. 

Since researching, we learned about how to keep ourselves healthy and how to stop the spread of germs. We've also made a class routine of making sure we always wash our hands before we eat our lunch. Great work to all students! 


Below are our completed hand washing posters that we created using the iPad app Pic Collage  during our Literacy Centers. We hope to put these posters around our school to spread the word about keeping healthy. Enjoy!
