In February, the first grade visited Baptist Medical Center’s Let’s Pretend Hospital. This is an annual event with the goal of introducing children to a hospital environment in a friendly, educational way. As our first grade students moved through the different simulation rooms, they learned more about the process of being admitted into the hospital, different healthcare professions, and their own health. We followed our volunteer “family” (mom, dad, and patient) through patient intake, the emergency room, the operating room, the blood lab, the radiology department, the patient room, the nursery, and more. We also were able to look inside of an ambulance to conclude the trip!
First grade sent out Flat Stanleys to places across the country and around the world. Our Flat Stanleys are traveling to places like Minnesota, New Mexico, Texas, New York, Indiana, England, and Germany! We have been patiently waiting for our Flat Stanleys to return so that we can learn more about different places around the world through Stanley’s adventures.
