An Educational and Fun Field Trip to Hospital-Land!

The students enjoyed a fun trip to Hospital-Land. They acted out a short skit about a young girl going to the hospital with her parents to have her tonsils removed. Nurse Jo was the nurse who taught us all about a visit to the hospital. She was wonderful. Destanie was out "patient," Madelyn and Caleb were her parents. The doctors were Susanna, the anesthesiologist, and Brett. Eight nurses helped transport Destanie to the "operating room and back to her bed after the "surgery." These eight nurses were Jadalynn, Abigail, Renee, Madelyn, Nicholas, Edward, Christian and Cheyanna. The wake-up nurse was William who got to "wake up" Destanie after her surgery. The three nurses who helped out after the surgery were Jaidelynn, Alyssa and Jaden. Logan was the discharge nurse. John and Dylan got to help out with Gus Gutz and show the kids about the internal organs!! He was cool!!

After the skit, the students had fun taking turns in centers. They rode in a wheelchair and got to push people in a wheelchair, used a walker and crutches, rode on a stretcher, listened to their heartbeat with a stethoscope, used a blood pressure cuff, tried on casts, learned about internal organs from "Gus Gutz" and sat on a hospital bed and told Nurse Jo their hospital or doctor stories. We even saw real x-rays!!

Thank you to Mr. Haynes for chaperoning this field trip. we appreciate your help. We hope you had as much fun as we did!
