What I'm learning

• Physical Development:

I am exercising my muscles by moving around through the life-size ambulance as well as biking in the heart race. 

• Literacy and Language:

I am learning about medical terminology and the function and purpose of various body parts by both reading and talking about them.

• Social Learning:

I am experiencing role-playing various community helpers, like doctors and ambulance drivers.

• Reasoning and Problem Solving:

By trying on appropriate protective gear I am learning to keep my body safe and healthy while playing sports.

Play & Learn Together:

• Help your child try on athletic protective gear and determine which parts of the body each piece is guarding from injury.

• Display the X-rays that are available and figure out which bones are shown.

• Suggest looking at the different heart models together.  What new information will you learn?
