Doctor Unit
A Doctor's office in our classroom invited the children to role play their past experiences as well as new information we learned this week. This was also a great way to discuss some of the fears and concerns the children have when visiting the Doctor.
Evan the receptionist, helped Saige sign in for her appointment.
We learned about our bones and how to keep them strong and healthy.
The children first felt a glove filled with water and then we added straws in each of the fingers and felt the difference.
X-ray Art
Pictures of real x-rays inspired the children to create their own x-ray art by adding q-tips as the bones on a black paper.
Shayna feeling her bones in her fingers and counting how many she saw on the photo.
She used white chalk to create "Mommy's hands".
Using a real stethoscope to listen to our friend's heart as well as learning what a blood pressure cuff is.
Menachem told us how a doctor also listens to your back.
What a great observation and it helped us understand how our heartbeat can be heard from our back as well!

We learned that at the Doctor's office we find out how much we weigh and how tall we are!

A dad, a surgeon!
It was such a treat to have Hannah's dad, Dr Kryger come to visit us! Dr Kryger is a plastic surgeon.
He showed us how he helps people who have broken bones.
Hannah got a fiber glass cast and Elizabeth got a plaster cast on her leg. It was interesting to feel the difference.
Teeth care
This week we also talked about 'Healthy habits' when it comes to our teeth!
The children were invited to cut out different picture of food items and place it on the correct tooth.
