  2. Wash your hands, wipe down objects that are touched frequently light switches, door knobs etc. Don't share drinks or straws, keep your hands to yourself. Stay home if you feel sick.Cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm.

  3. I think that is right! I think washing your hands is a big part of staying healthy, because if you touch something that someone else has touched their could be germs on it. Exaple, like sharing a desk with other students can spread alot of germs because students have germs on their hands and their notebooks, pencils and, folders also have germs on them. And covering your cough or sneeze you really can spread germs that way because if you cough or sneeze in your hands and touch something another person[student] can touch it and the germs get on the other person[student] and can get sick.

  7. I agree! it goes with the name! getting a flu shot can REALLY prevent you from getting the flu. In fact, I got mine yesterday after school. washing your hands is also really important, too. I hope no one in 5th grade gets the flu.

  8. I know that it is very important to wash your hands and keep clean. We need to stay home if we are sick, and try not to be contagious. If you feel symptoms coming about, be sure to make a stop at the nurses office.

  9. I think washing our hands, and staying home for seven days is a big part of keeping yourself healthy, and keeping other people healthy. Also cough into your elbow because your'e not going to touch everything with youre elbow. Get a tiny hand sanitizer to put in youre lunch box, or carry one to all youre classes. Wash youre hands often, like when you go to the bathroom,after specials, orband from touching youre instrument. DON'T PUT YOURE HANDS NEAR YOURE MOUTH. Kennedy W.

  15. To pervent spreding the H1N1,wash your hands before you eat and wash your hands after you touch things that everyone has touched.Wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds.You can use hand sanitizer if there is no water or soap.DON'T cover your cough with your hands,cover it with your elbow instead.Keep you're hands away from your mouth.If you're sick,stay home for at least a week.Wipe down desks,light switches,door knobs,and anything else that alot of people touch.
