Yes! We still teach students what it's like to care for an infant in a busy life. Ms. Albert said:
"These Baby Think It Over's have definitely done their job so far!! But what I loved the most is that the students didn't complain! They did what they had to do! One of these lucky babies got to go to the rodeo, while a few others got to sit in on early morning practice! And a special thanks to our village on the field this morning for the pamper changes and bottle feedings! It's appreciated!"
How cool is this!? Dr. Josh Smith, Abel Gallegos , and Jennifer Wharton from the Osteopathic College of Medicine visited with Mrs. Duncan's classes to teach and practice suturing last week. Real life experience is always our goal!
