As part of our study of the human body, Dr. Horowitz (Amira's mom) came to talk to the children about their eyes. She showed us diagrams of the eyes and spoke about how to take care of them. She also reminded the children not to run around with sharp objects! On Thursday, Dr. Borgen (Ezra's dad) came to talk to us about our hearts. He showed us a heart which didn't pump properly because of a blocked artery, and then we saw Ezra's healthy heart in an ultrasound. He then explained to the children how important healthy food and exercise are for keeping our hearts healthy.
It's so nice that parents volunteered their time to come in and talk to the class!!
ReplyDeleteBoth the PK and K have open door policies, and are delighted to have parents or other family members join us. Sometimes they share a job or hobby, and sometimes they help with a baking or other project. It's a wonderful experience for all involved, strengthening that important connection between home and school. You're all invited!
