Learning Snacks: Healthy Habits and Indoor Fun!

As the cold weather and seasonal sniffles continue, we may find ourselves spending a little more time indoors to rest and stay healthy. Even so, indoor days can be warm, cozy and full of opportunities to play and learn together. This week, practice healthy habits to keep the germs away and make the most of this time indoors!

FOR KIDS: HOW DO WE GET SICK?
You may have noticed that some friends have been missing from school, or you might not be feeling your best. Germs are tiny organisms that can make us sick, but learning how to stay healthy can help us feel better and keep each other well! Learn all about how to stay healthy in this episode of Sid the Science Kid, and remember to wash your hands!

FOR PARENTS: MAKING THE INDOORS ENJOYABLE
Your family might be starting to feel a little case of cabin fever! Whether it’s due to illness or cold winter weather, changing up routines can make time at home more enjoyable and help kids stay creative, curious and engaged. Try one of these indoor activities this week to help burn off that extra energy!

FOR EDUCATORS: HEALTHY CLASSROOM HABITS
Support healthy habits in your classroom and keep students engaged with these lessons about germs and staying healthy! Teaching children about why we need to use soap and how germs travel is an important, hands-on lesson for this time of year. Learning about how germs make us sick is a great way to engage students in science concepts and help keep your classroom healthy!
