Boogers

Yes, you read that right... boogers.  It's a gross topic, but it is one we discussed today during class.  This time of year we have a lot of runny noses and lots of nose picking.  We watched a BrainPop video about boogers; it explained what they were and why we have them.  The class learned that they are important because they help keep germs out of our body.  The class also learned that boogers are filled with germs.  I think the video helped reinforce the importance of not picking noses, but also keeping objects out of mouths.  It also made us all want a squirt of hand sanitizer.  I'll think I'll go get another squirt now!
