Sorry about the delay in posting!
A few weeks ago, we were lucky enough to have Paramedic Chris and his partner come and show both JK/SK classes their equipment and ambulance. What a great learning experience for the children who were exposed to what the paramedics do, what equipment they use and how they help us in various situations. The children learned a lot about the equipment and why they use it, were exposed to technology such as the EKG machine, and even were able to venture inside the ambulance itself.
They learned a bit about their hearts, the printout that the EKG machine can do, learned about the neck brace to keep patients stabilized, the stretcher, oxygen mask and much more. Some children had told us that they'd been in an ambulance and others had never seen such interesting medical equipment before. They were amazed and learned a lot about these very important community helpers! See more pictures here:
