Each family introduced the culture they represented as well as described how that culture celebrated Christmas. We enjoyed treats from around the globe and shared our own family’s traditions.

They also used various energy sources to practice surgical cutting and cauterizing and also learned suturing techniques used by surgeons.
Group 1 participated in the Jack and Jill Medical Academy- mini edition and virtually put together a life size skeleton. Each child received their own stethoscopes and learned how to listen to their parent’s heartbeat and breath sounds. Finally, the children used bandages to wrap the wrists and ankles of their parents.
