little kinder in my class
who so loves germs and viruses
he’s making a book of them
school nurse
comes in
to
talk about
hand washing
germs
staying well
not wanting
to get sick
or
catching things
like
flu
or
colds
he raises his hand
and adds
‘or, the black death’
yes
the black death
too

This post with the artwork and words was so adorable! When I got to the part about the Black Death, I snorted! Now, I am pretending it was someone else across the room who snorted! Smiles for this little lad who may be the one who helps find the cure for Cancer!!
