Nelson yes Ashley Nelson is sick with

the chicken pox too oh my we have many

students getting sick with the chicken

box so the rest of us need to be very

careful the school nurse has asked all

the teachers to show this short film

about chicken pox so I want you to

please pay close attention Ashley please

turn on the projector

hi boys and girls I'm back to B and

we're going to talk about a very very

common childhood illness today called

chicken pot its fancy name is called

varisella it's a disease that most

children will get before they grown up

and it's one that's very very common the

most important thing to remember when

you get chicken PO is it will start off

as a little red rag and then all of a

sudden those little red spots will

become blistered and then all of a

sudden the blisters will scab over like

you scratched yourself and then they'll

get very very

ity the most important thing to remember

about chicken pox is that it is very

contagious and that means that it

spreads very quickly from one little boy

or girl to another so you've got to stay

apart and not be around anybody who has

chicken P or else you're very likely to

catch

it okay now someone tell me what the

doctor say we should do if we know

someone who has chicken pugs gerbert um

yes ma'am you should stay away from them

until they get well so that you won't

get sick too thank you for listening so

well gerbert you're right we should stay

away from someone with the Chicken Box

until after they get well

someone tell me what the doctor say we

should do if we got chicken Pock

ourselves Ashley we shouldn't go near

anyone else because they might get sick

by being close to us good Ashley we

should stay away from others if we have

the chicken pox so that we will not get

them sick it is a very contagious

disease okay now boys and girls it is

time to practice our play onest a

everyone get into their custumes and

places

look down here we got magazines you got

a shoe box you got markers and some

scissors and if you look at my Zoo you

can see how I did it all I did was take

the shoe box and I ripped the sides out

and I laid it out flat then I got me a

marker and I drew me some squares in

there for cages and made some lines down

there for some bars see how I did that

and then I got some old magazines of

course you want to ask your mom for that

first and she'll find you some old ones

and you take your scissors Thum through

else you can do you can cut other little

pieces of cardboard and make them stand
