🌟 Let's Start

Chidi's mother always says, "Wash your hands with soap and water!" She knows that staying clean keeps Chidi healthy. At school, the nurse checks the children to make sure they are well. Let us learn the words for staying healthy.

📚 New Concept

Health words:

• Healthy — when your body feels good and strong
• Sick — when your body does not feel well
• Medicine — what the doctor gives you when you are sick
• Doctor — a person who helps sick people get better
• Soap — you use it to wash and kill germs
• Water — you drink it and use it to wash
• Clean — free from dirt and germs
• Exercise — moving your body to stay strong

Using health words in sentences:

• "I drink water every day to stay healthy."
• "When Funke was sick, her mother took her to the doctor."
• "Wash your hands with soap to keep them clean."
