Oh, my gosh! We had such a great time when Eli's mom, Dr. Fielstra, visited our class. She brought her dog, Callie, and rat, Cutie. She taught us about otoscopes and stethoscopes and let us use them. She taught us to approach dogs slowly and quietly, to ask the owner if you can pet the dog, then to ask the dog if you can pet him. You do this by putting out your hand. If the dog comes to you it's okay to pet him. We took turns practicing this approach with Callie. Then Dr. Fielstra gave each student their own doctor kit which included a mask, hat, bandages, shots, and a stuffed dog. What a great hands on experience for everyone!
