For my main project I will be setting up/decorating the community health area inside the school. This area will be used as the "doctor's office" when the doctors visit the school to check up on the kids every other Wednesday. The center will be on one side of the recreation room. So far I have arranged the furniture to mimic a pediatrician's office: I turned the "examination table" so it's perpendicular to the wall so there is space on both sides for the doctor to stand, set up the regular table as a "nurse's station" where the doctor can take the kids' blood pressure (a little chair is next to the table), and created a weighing station/waiting area on the wall adjacent to the "doctor's office". Over the next few days I will be making a large sign for the area, so its clear what the space is. For decorations, I am going to be making posters of different animals (since I am not allowed to paint the walls). My mini-project is to plan and lead some activities with the three year olds. One lesson I want to do is teach the kids the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" and play "Simon Says" to teach them body parts. Another lesson I want to do is go over the colors in the rainbow and have the kids draw their own rainbows to teach them their colors; the last few days I have noticed they don't know all of their colors and really like the color yellow. Tomorrow I will be speaking with the teachers to find out when I can do my lessons.
