First Aid!

With our Key Lime Cove trip coming up and summer too, we figured it might be a good idea to learn a little first aid. We did this as Brownies but now as Juniors, we are older and have a bit more to learn about it. So we invited Marin's mom, Mrs. Colton in to teach us about it. She is a nurse so she is a pro! She talked to us about different things that are used when administering first aid.  She told us about calling 911.

 

We talked about different scenarios and what we should do if ever in that position.

 

We even made our own first aid kits!  They were filled with bandaids, gauze, tweezers, a handkerchief, and more.  

The girls thought this was pretty great.  We made smaller ones as Brownies that were little necklace ones and the girls all wore them to school.  These are in Tupperware containers and would be great to keep in the car or take with in a bag if going somewhere. 

 

Then Mrs. Colton had the girls act out different scenarios.  She gave the situation and had one person be the victim and the rest be the people who needed to help.

 

Thank you Mrs. Colton!  The girls learned a lot!
