Thank You, Logan!

Logan’s Slogans

That day, Miss Sparks explains Razzi’s snuffles to the rest of the class. And, she reminds the children that they need to be careful about spreading germs, too. The children watch as the principal comes to take Razzi away to the veterinarian. Everybody is sad to see Razzi leaving.

Miss Sparks suggests the class make get-well cards for Razzi while he’s gone. All the children take out their crayons and colored paper. Logan draws a picture of Razzi and writes We’ll miss you, Razzi. Get well soon. on her drawing. Miss Sparks says she’ll take all the drawings to the veterinarian after school.

Logan sees that Skylar drew a rabbit, too. Hallie drew her own face with tears coming out of her eyes. Then, Logan has a brilliant idea! At lunch, Logan tells Miss Sparks her idea about reminding everyone to be careful about germs.

When the children come back from lunch, they see three signs Logan has made. Each one has a picture and a slogan. One says If you think you are going to sneeze, come and get a tissue please. Another says People say “thanks” for leaves and worms, but not for icky, sneezy germs. So please, please, please! Catch your sneeze. And the last one says Using a tissue is a good habit, says Razzmatazz, our class rabbit. And do not forget to wash your hands. Rabbits can’t, but children can.

The children are very delighted. They pretend to sneeze and practice sneezing into their elbows or tissues. They wave their tissues at Logan and cheer “Thank you, Logan!”

A week later, Razzi comes back to the school, happier and hoppier than ever. By then, all the children are very good at remembering to cover their sneezes and coughs. And they always wash their hands afterwards, thanks to Logan’s memorable slogans.
