Therapy Dog Rules Poster Helping Students & Dogs Feel Safe and Happy! 🐶✨ Having a therapy dog in school is a wonderful experience. There’s something truly special about how dogs help students feel calmer, more focused, and even more motivated to learn. But to make sure that both students and the dog feel safe and comfortable, we need clear and easy-to-understand rules. That’s why I created this Therapy Dog Rules Poster—so that everyone knows how to interact respectfully and kindly with the school dog. 🐾 Why This Poster is a Must-Have for Your Classroom or School ✔ Gives students clear expectations – Kids need to know how to behave around a therapy dog, and this poster makes it easy to remember! ✔ Reduces stress for the dog – When students understand the rules, therapy dogs feel more relaxed and happy in their school environment. ✔ Supports social-emotional learning – Encourages empathy, patience, and responsibility—great lessons that go beyond just interacting with a dog. ✔ Works in any classroom setting – Whether you’re welcoming a therapy dog regularly or just preparing for a visit, these guidelines help create a smooth and positive experience for everyone. 📌 What’s Inside? 📜 A Printable Therapy Dog Rules Poster ✔ Simple, easy-to-follow rules that students can understand at a glance ✔ Friendly, inviting design to make the message clear and approachable ✔ Available in multiple formats for flexible printing and display 💡 How to Use This Poster in Your Classroom or School 📍 Introduce the rules before the first therapy dog visit. Go over the rules together and talk about why they’re important. Encourage students to share how they think dogs might feel in different situations. 📍 Keep it in a visible spot. Hang it up in the classroom, hallway, or near the therapy dog’s resting area. The more students see it, the easier it will be for them to remember! 📍 Use it as a discussion starter. Talk about respect, kindness, and responsibility—not just toward therapy dogs, but in everyday interactions with people too. 📍 Encourage positive behavior. When students follow the rules, acknowledge their effort! You can even let them read a story to the therapy dog as a reward. Why Teachers & Schools Love This Poster ✔ “The perfect way to set clear expectations before our therapy dog visits!” ✔ “The visuals make it easy for younger students to understand.” ✔ “Students now remind each other of the rules, which makes everything so much smoother!” 🐶 A Small Change That Makes a Big Difference Therapy dogs bring so much joy into schools, but a well-prepared environment makes all the difference. This friendly and easy-to-read poster helps students understand exactly how to interact with a school dog in a safe and kind way. 📥 Print it today and help create a positive, stress-free experience for your school’s therapy dog! 🐾✨ 📍 Warmly, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Therapy Dog - Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭

Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭 There’s something special about the presence of a therapy dog in the classroom. Even the most restless students seem to relax. Some kids who rarely speak up suddenly open up. And for many, it’s the first time they’ve had a chance to experience the unconditional support that a dog offers. But what if we took that experience and turned it into a learning moment? That’s exactly what this reflection activity does. It helps students think about what kindness means, why responsibility matters, and how their actions affect others—whether those others have two legs or four. Why This Activity Feels Different ✔ It gets students thinking, not just answering. It’s not about memorizing facts. It’s about pausing for a moment and reflecting on simple but meaningful questions. ✔ It connects emotions with actions. Why do therapy dogs have rules? Why does kindness matter? These questions lead to unexpectedly deep discussions. ✔ It’s easy for any grade level. Younger kids can draw their answers, while older students might write or discuss. No one feels left out. ✔ It works with or without a therapy dog. Even if your school doesn’t have one, this still sparks conversations about empathy and responsibility. ✔ No prep required. Just print it out, hand it to students, and let them think. How I Use It in My Classroom 📌 First, we talk. I ask, “How do animals teach us about kindness?” or “What do therapy dogs need from us?” The answers are never what I expect—and that’s the best part. 📌 Then, students reflect. They complete a few simple but thoughtful prompts about their own behavior, their emotions, and what they’ve learned. 📌 Next, we share (if they want to). I never make sharing mandatory. But I’m always surprised by how many students want to. 📌 Finally, we put up the poster. It’s a small reminder that kindness and responsibility go beyond the classroom. 🐶 One more idea: If you have a therapy dog visit your class, have students read their reflections to the dog. You’d be amazed at how much more open and engaged they become! What Other Teachers Have Said ✔ “I used this before our first therapy dog visit, and it made a huge difference in how students behaved around the dog.” ✔ “It’s simple but powerful. The class discussions that came from this were amazing.” ✔ “Perfect for social-emotional learning, even without a therapy dog!” Why This Activity Sticks with Students At the end of the day, this isn’t just another worksheet. It’s a way to help students slow down, think about their actions, and reflect on what really matters—whether that’s how they interact with a therapy dog, a classmate, or the world around them. 📥 Give it a try—you might be surprised by what your students come up with. 🐶✨ 📍 Warmly, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Guided Reading Level K - Street Safety Signs (with Lesson Plan)
ELA, Resources for Teachers, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Pre-Reading, Language Development, Health, P.E. & Health, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Resources, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Centers, Activities, Literacy Readers, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments
This Guided Reading Book - Street Safety Signs (Level K) with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: Street Safety Signs Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Health & Safety / Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: Street signs, colors, and safety messages Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): K What This Book Teaches Best How street signs help people stay safe: Street signs are “helpful tools” that tell people how to stay safe on the road. Using shapes and colors to understand meaning: Each sign has a special shape and color that sends a message. Key safety actions for walkers and drivers: The stop sign means come to a full halt and look both ways before moving again. Recognizing common road signals: The book explains warning signs, traffic lights, yield signs, speed limit signs, school signs, do not enter signs, and bike lane signs. Street-sign knowledge as a life skill: Paying attention to signs helps people “navigate the world safely.” Learning Goals Students will explain how street signs help people stay safe on roads. Students will identify what different sign colors and shapes communicate in this text. Students will describe what a stop sign tells people to do and why looking both ways matters. Students will explain what traffic light colors mean (red, green, yellow) based on the text. Students will connect specific signs (yield, speed limit, school, do not enter, bike lane) to their safety messages. Key Vocabulary From the Text octagon — a shape with eight sides. pedestrians — people who are walking. intersection — where two roads meet or cross. fluorescent — very bright and easy to see. navigate — find your way and move safely place to place. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What street signs or signals have you seen that help people stay safe? Comprehension questions: What does the stop sign mean, and what should you do before moving again? What do yellow diamond-shaped warning signs tell drivers to watch for? Why do speed limit signs help keep neighborhoods and people safe? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.

SEL Boom Deck-Grateful or Disappointed? With Audio Plus Handout!
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Elementary, Middle School, Activities, Worksheets & Printables
In this resource, students will learn the differences between feeling grateful and disappointed. These two feelings are essentially opposite one another. The 28 slide Boom Deck has 3 educational/introduction cards and 25 task playing cards. There is audio on each card so no reading is required. This can be done as a whole class group whereas each student can take a turn coming up to a interactive board and deciding which situation is being presented. Then the directions for the deck ask students to think of things the person in the situation could be grateful for in a disappointing situation. There are many examples of disappointing situations such as; not being able to play a volleyball game because a coach is out of town, not being able to have outdoor recess, a volcano not erupting, having to do homework instead of play with friends, a dog ruining a pair of shoes, a teacher asking a student to rewrite a paragraph, a special art class is being canceled, and not getting to go on a roller coaster at an amusement park, among others. There is a handout to print off for each student and have them reflect on a time they were disappointed and now looking back, what were they grateful for in that situation. This is a great Boom Deck to do during Thanksgiving but also throughout the entire year. This is great for grades two, three, four, five, and six. This will create some good conversations with students on looking for those grateful moments. Please review the Boom Deck terms of use and the ability to get a free trial. The explanation is on their website and I cannot insert it here due to the AI system recognizing it as duplicate information.

There is a stop sign handout that all students receive and can take home. This can also be used as an SEL poster in the classroom to reference this strategy of Stopping (calming down and stopping what you are doing), Thinking (How do I and other feel right now?) and Choosing a safe and respectful choice. When students play the game, they will land on ice cream truck, car and stop spaces. The ice cream truck is for fun. The students will read the joke or "would you rather" question to the group and they will guess the answer or share their preferred choice of a "would you rather" question. The car spaces are for scenarios where students can walk it through the stop, think, and choose strategy. The stop sign spaces for for students to act out a motion, saying, or movement around the room activity and the person on their right will tell them to stop. Students will practice stopping right away. This is great practice for when teachers ask students to stop and they need to learn to stop right away in the moment. Lastly there is an extension handout for students to fill out that assesses if they understand the strategy. There are 24 car scenario cards and 24 ice cream truck cards for fun. There is an action needed for each space of the game.

The material includes 96 hand-drawn door hangers in three differentiated formats: – Pre-filled with strengths (ready to color and hang) – With gaps for students to add their own words – Completely blank for free design and writing All versions are included in both color and black-and-white, making them perfect for creative work, quiet time, or even as a thoughtful take-home project. Fonts are provided in print, tracing, and decorative styles – so you can adapt the activity to your students' level and needs. What makes it practical for teachers: I’ve used these door hangers when starting a new school year, during transition phases, or when I wanted to quietly support students’ confidence. They also work well in substitute lessons or as a calming station activity. The Viking theme adds just the right amount of playfulness without feeling too childish. Easy prep, lots of uses: Print, cut, and let students decorate their door hangers with drawings or personal messages. You can hang them on lockers, desks, or classroom walls. Some teachers also use them for class community projects or parent nights. This activity encourages self-reflection in a gentle and creative way – and reminds students that recognizing their own strengths is part of learning too. This is more than just a decoration – it’s a tool for early math learning wrapped in a bit of adventure. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

Therapy Dog Door Signs – Keep Your Classroom Calm & Organized 🐶🚪 A therapy dog in school is wonderful—but clear communication makes it even better! When a therapy dog is part of your school, it’s important that everyone—students, teachers, and visitors—knows how to interact appropriately. Sometimes the dog is available for visits, sometimes resting, and other times they need a quiet space to recharge. Instead of constantly reminding students when it’s okay to interact, these removable door signs do the work for you! With simple, easy-to-read messages, these signs help set clear expectations so that students respect the therapy dog’s needs while still enjoying all the benefits of having one at school. 🐾 Why These Signs Are Helpful for Any Therapy Dog Program ✔ Prevents classroom disruptions – No more students knocking or entering at the wrong time. ✔ Helps students learn respect – Teaches kids to recognize when the therapy dog needs rest. ✔ Perfect for schools, counseling offices, and classrooms – Works anywhere a school therapy dog is present. ✔ Easy to switch – The signs are removable, so you can update them as needed throughout the day. ✔ Kid-friendly design – Simple words and visuals make it easy for even young students to understand. 📌 What’s Included? 📜 A Set of Printable Therapy Dog Door Signs 🐶 "Therapy Dog Inside – Please Enter Quietly" 🐶 "Therapy Dog Resting – Do Not Disturb" 🐶 "Therapy Dog on a Break – Will Be Back Soon" ✔ Clear and student-friendly wording ✔ Easy-to-print format for flexible use 💡 How to Use These Signs in Your School 📍 Print & laminate for durability. These signs will last all year with lamination! 📍 Attach with Velcro or a removable adhesive. This makes it quick and easy to change the sign depending on the therapy dog’s schedule. 📍 Place them at the classroom or office door. Anywhere the therapy dog is working or resting, these signs help students understand what to do. 📍 Let students take responsibility. Assign a student helper to change the sign when needed—it’s a great way to involve them in learning about animal care and respect. Why Teachers Love These Signs ✔ "My students used to walk in loudly, but now they stop and check the sign first!" ✔ "It’s made a big difference—fewer interruptions, and our therapy dog is much calmer." ✔ "I laminated them, and now they’re a daily part of our routine. So helpful!" 🐶 A Simple Solution for a Well-Organized Therapy Dog Program Bringing a therapy dog into a school setting is such a rewarding experience, but a little structure makes it even smoother. These removable therapy dog door signs help set clear expectations so that both students and the therapy dog feel safe and comfortable. 📥 Print them today and make your school’s therapy dog experience even better! 🐾✨ 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨

With an emphasis on marketing to high school career preparation classes, but also demonstrate the versatility of the program to appeal to transitional learners in larger markets.

SEL Presentations Boom Deck-Traffic Light Feelings With Audio
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Speech Therapy, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Presentations, Activities
In this SEL Boom Deck SEL presentation, there are 24 playing task cards with audio so there is no reading required. There are also 7 informational cards with audio as well. Students will learn about traffic light feelings. There are different intensity levels of feelings and each one is a certain color. For example, red means stop-this is when one is feeling angry, unsafe, really upset or scared. Yellow means slow down; feelings associated with yellow are worried, silly, excited, distracted in class and frustrated. Green means go-the feelings associated with green are happy, calm, proud, and focused. Students will click on either the red, yellow or green light image at the bottom of every page. There is a prompt to have students share what strategies can be used if someone is red or yellow and need to calm down. Some of the examples given in the Boom Deck are; Adam was nervous about the first day of school, Yani was frustrated that his friend was not playing by the rules, Sam knocked down his tower because he was upset about not having more red blocks, Julie was happy it was yoga day in P.E. today, Chase was super scared about the shadow of the cactus, Gigi felt grateful for her birthday present, Evan was super excited it was carnival day at school, Pari was feeling scared about the thunder and lightening, and many more child relatable scenarios. This lesson can be used for preschool, kindergarten, first grade and second grade. This lesson will help students self-regulate by encouraging them to identify and manage those strong feelings many students (and adults) have throughout the day. This Boom Deck is a great extension activity after my other lesson on traffic light feelings here: https://teachsimple.com/product/traffic-light-feelings-lesson-an-sel-self-regulation-tool Please visit Boom Learning for Terms of Use for their decks.

Soccer Game – Find the Match! Spot It! Style with Hand-Drawn Cliparts Similar to Dobble / Spot it! A quick-thinking visual game for elementary learners – perfect for brain breaks, warm-ups, or station work ⚽🧠 This printable matching game is built around a simple idea: every two cards share exactly one image – and the goal is to find it faster than your opponent! Designed in a soccer theme and illustrated with my own hand-drawn clipart, this version adds a playful and sporty twist to the classic Dobble/Spot It! concept. You’ll receive two full sets of 31 cards each – in both round and square formats. Each card includes six different soccer-related illustrations (balls, shoes, trophies, whistles, and more). Whether you're working on visual attention, comparison, or just want to offer something fun and interactive, this game is a low-prep favorite. What’s included: 62 cards in total (2x 31-card sets) 2 formats: round and square (easy to cut) All images are original soccer-themed clipart Clear instructions included PDF format for printing and laminating How I’ve used it in the classroom: This type of game has worked really well for me during transition times or as part of a classroom “focus station.” It’s quick to explain, easy to set up, and even young learners who don’t read yet can join in. The competitive element keeps it exciting, but the visual search also supports focus and attention. You can play in small groups, pairs, or even adapt the cards for solo use. The laminated version holds up well over time, and I often keep a copy in our class game drawer. A simple, sporty way to bring energy and focus into your classroom – and a nice break from worksheets. Print, cut, and play – no prep needed, and lots of learning packed into a simple activity. Warm regards, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.

SEL Boom Deck With Audio-Help The Elf Plus A Fun Handout
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, Activities
In this SEL Boom Deck called Help The Elf, students will get to make choices about how someone may be feeling, how they can solve a problem, and making choices about what is the right thing to do. There is audio on every card so there is no need for reading. This is a Christmas themed Boom Deck and fun for students to do before the holiday break. There is also a fun Spot The Differences Handout that has a Christmas picture on it. There are 10 differences. In this deck, there are situations related to someone not getting the present they wanted and how should they respond, how a parent might feel if a child snuck a cookie, how a person might feel if someone is talking about a playdate they were not invited to, how someone might feel if a person only wanted to be partners with one person, what kind of peer pressure is daring someone to climb the fence, which is better; a fake apology or no apology, someone helping someone up and taking them to the nurse's office, saying hello to a new student and inviting them to play tag at recess, and many more. There are 24 playing cards so everyone in the class can get a turn, you could have each student do this deck as a center , or you can have students do this in partners or groups. There are cute Christmas images that show different types of feelings. There are true/false questions and there are "What should they do?" questions. This Boom deck can produce some good discussions around the choices one makes. To top it off, after students complete the Boom deck, they can do a fun Find The Differences Handout where they need to find 10 differences between images. I always find it helpful to have an activity students can do afterward. For the Boom deck's terms of use, please visit their site.

Guided Reading Level H - Clean Hands, Healthy Bodies
ELA, Resources for Teachers, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Health, P.E. & Health, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Resources, Life Skills, Science, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Centers, Activities, Literacy Readers, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments
This Guided Reading Book - Clean Hands, Healthy Bodies (Level H) includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: Clean Hands, Healthy Bodies Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Health & Safety / Science Primary Topic: When and how to wash hands to stop germs Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): H What This Book Teaches Best Why washing hands matters: it “keeps germs away” and helps prevent germs from spreading to other people. When to wash hands (before eating, after outdoor play, after using the toilet, after playing with a pet). How to wash hands step-by-step (wet with clean running water, use soap, scrub all areas, rinse, dry). A key procedure detail: scrubbing should last “twenty seconds” to remove germs. The idea of healthy habits: making handwashing a regular habit “protects everyone.” Learning Goals Students will explain one reason the book gives for washing hands, using a detail from the text. Students will identify at least two times the book says hands should be washed. Students will describe the steps for washing hands in order, based on the text. Students will state how long scrubbing should last, according to the book. Students will describe how handwashing helps other people, using the book’s words about spreading germs/protecting everyone. Key Vocabulary From the Text germs — tiny living things that can make you sick. contact — touching something. invisible — cannot be seen. scrub — rub hard to get something clean. protects — keeps safe from harm. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: When do you think it is most important to wash your hands? Comprehension questions: Name one time the book says you should wash your hands. How long should scrubbing last when you wash your hands? Why does washing your hands help other people? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.
