I take comfort
in knowing that my child will stay put where I leave him and knowing he is
safe. Therefore, at Red Rooster Academy, our “field trips” come to us!
We were so excited to have
Dr. Penrod from Art City Family Medical Center come for our first “in-house”
field trip! He was FANTASTIC with the kids!
Each
child brought their favorite stuffed animal and Dr. Penrod taught the kids what
each of his Dr. Tools is used for. He let them hold the tools and use them for
a great hands-on learning experience! 
He
taught us about the importance of taking care of our bodies, and making them
strong by eating good foods and getting enough sleep by going to bed when our
parents tell us to!! He talked about making sure we got enough exercise and limiting
the amount of sweets we ate each day and also the amount of TV we watch.
He
also *gasp* gave each one of our stuffed animals a shot and let each of the
kids put a special band-aid on their animal's arm to make them feel better.
To
top the day off, he showed us what would happen if we broke one of our bones
and put a cast on one of our friends' arm!
THANK YOU DR. PENROD!!
