As with everything else Covid put a halt to the SNAP-Ed (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Assistant going to the classroom to teach. With the 2021-22 school year starting back in August, the education system slowly started opening back up to outside educators coming in.
In October of 2021 the Knott County School System opened their classrooms back up to outside educators. With that the SNAP-Ed assistant was allowed to go back in and start teaching her lesson.
Her program of choice is Professor Popcorn and LEAP. The first lesson she taught when she went back was hand washing to Kindergarten. They were amazed on how easy germs was transferred from one place to another.
One student said I will defiantly wash my hands with soap and scrub them harder to try and get rid of the germs.
