Healthy Bodies with Dr. Bommy Mershon
Dr. Bommy Mershon visited the kindergarten classes to teach
about Healthy Bodies. Her interactive presentation included helpful
pictures depicting what the heart does and how blood travels through the
body.
- The children did an experiment where we ran in place for a minute
and checked how much our heart rates rose. Dr. Mershon used a Pulse
oximeter on some children so we could watch their numbers rise!
- We
learned how our lungs and diaphragm work. She made a model using a
bottle, balloons, and a straw to demonstrate how the lungs inflate and
deflate.
- We learned how to keep our bodies healthy and to limit TV to 30 minutes a day MAX. A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body.
Thank you, Dr. Mershon!
