Yesterday, some of our 3rd graders scrubbed in at the Ogema Elementary Review Hospital! They went into several operating rooms to diagnose main ideas, performed surgery with contractions, deciphered character traits of our hospital patients, solved math word problems for our hospital staff, and performed distributive surgery! After all of their hard work in the operating rooms, they settled into their seats to enjoy some snacks. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish twice a week for a heart healthy diet so they enjoyed some goldfish and washed it down with some blood (fruit punch). They had so much fun and loved putting all of our hard work to use! Thank you to our student teacher, Rachel Sand, and her 'medical team' of staff/volunteers for organizing this fun, hands-on learning experience for students!
