First, Mr. Kevin, an EMT, came to our classroom to tell us all about how he rescues people in the water. Mr. Kevin is a member of the Virginia Beach Marine Rescue Team. He wore his uniform to show us what he wears to work and he even brought some really cool toys to show us during his visit.
Mr. Kevin showed us how to use his night-vision googles as well as the fancy head set/microphone that he uses to communicate with others during rescue missions. He also brought a large life buoy and an official dive suit. We liked the toys, but our favorite part of the visit was when Mr. Kevin took us outside to see his Marine Rescue Vehicle. Each of the preschoolers got to climb inside of the rescue boat and pretend to drive it. Then, last but not least, Mr. Kevin showed us how to turn on the vehicle's emergency lights & siren. "This was awesome!" shouted one of the preschoolers.
Then, Dr. Josh came to our classroom to tell us about the different jobs that doctors can do at work. We learned that there are actually different kinds of doctors who work in different locations like hospitals and clinics. We learned that each kind of doctor helps us to keep our body healthy.
Dr. Josh brought in some toys of his own and he even showed us how to use them. First, he showed us how a stethoscope can help doctors to hear our heart beats as well as listen to our breathing and lungs. Then, he showed us the special light on his otoscope that helps doctors to look inside of our noses, eyes & ears. Lastly, Dr. Josh showed us some emergency cold packs that "worked like magic" to help people who had injured a part of their body. In the end, we learned that doctors are people who care for us and want us to stay healthy. Hopefully this will help us to see that grown ups who wear those white coats aren't so scary after all.
