Germs – Yuck
The teachers at my school wanted to encourage students to do more community service, so we are all doing a service project with our homeroom. Our students and their families are always so generous when we have food drives and other collections. Yet, we wanted Since they are middle school students, it’s a good idea to have them pick what they would like to do. So I bring the topic of community service to my students and we discuss all types of community service. Then my students have a vote and decide that they want to clean up the neighborhood or parks in the area. Great idea you are probably thinking, right? Nooooooo. I wanted to do something less dirty and germ involved. I mean, yes I love cleaning. But I manage to pick up every germ and always wind up sick for weeks. I need a bubble like the movie Bubble Boy so I don’t get sick from garbage that we will be picking up.
I’ll look for gloves at Lowes this weekend.
Hugs,

What a great idea! Super project!
Don’t forget to pick up one of those little masks, too, that covers your mouth and nose.

I was going to do that and also write that Janera because I feel I got the heebee jeebies from having to pick up nasty tissues and germ infested “stuff.”
But I am trying to be normal so my students don’t get my odd germ-a-phobic tendencies.

Gloves and one of those colorful surgical masks will keep the germs at bay and look really cute. Who says you can’t accessorize while serving your community? :)
