HOYA 2 Feb/Mar Article
Launch the media gallery 1 playerOh my goodness! How are there only 23 class days left for this amazing group of young people?? This entire year has flown by. Hard to believe that graduation for these students is just around the corner. February was a normal busy month. Students are having fun learning their medical terminology words. They have designed Blooket games for their medical terminology word part quizzes. They completed the musculoskeletal system with our chicken wing dissections.
As March has come in like a lamb, HOYA II will have the March lion spirit. They are continuing working at their internships. They will be using their knowledge of the medical terms that they have mastered thus far and will be completing critical thinking worksheets as well as some case study of some of their residents/patients they are caring for during their internships. We will also be dissecting beef and venison hearts and venison lungs as we continue with our cardiovascular and respiratory units.
Students have started their community/public health surveys and will now compose a Google Slide presentation on those findings. Community/public health will always affect any healthcare provider, so it is important to not only know what citizens of their community find important but also to know what types of healthcare each community offers.
Next week the students will be updating their educational bulletin board to address another pertinent health issue. February was Heart Health month and Children’s Dental Awareness month. I am looking forward to the newest board as the students have done such an amazing job on each of the previous ones.
Congratulations and good luck to the Pecatonica boys and girls (Kianna Degner and Payton Thomas and all the other ladies) basketball teams.
As March hopefully changes to warmer weather, please remember to work on some relaxing outdoor activities. Spring and Spring break will be here before we know it.
