As I have previously mentioned, my son's kindergarten teacher is amazing and I am honestly teary eyed thinking about the year ending in one week. Because she is open and wonderful, she invites any parent to come and talk about his/her career to the class. I had the esteemed honor of talking to my son's kinder class about what it is to be a doctor. As any good physician would do, I did my research. I looked up articles on how to present to little kids, to keep them engaged and have fun. I bookmarked 10 different websites with craft ideas, and scoured the city's dollar stores for enough funnels so all the kids could make their very own stethoscope. I wanted to be infectious; they would all walk out of the class starry eyed and inspired to be physicians.
As a thank you each child drew me a picture and wrote a thank you letter (that the teacher transcribed for improved readability). Here are a few examples of how I make an impact.*
Dr. thank you for teaching us about veterinarians. Love, (I mentioned the word veterinarian ONCE.) |
The kids hung on my every word and I moved these two 'closer' to a career in medicine
Some kids simply wanted to thank me for being so entertaining and represented me visually in that positive light.
Dear Dr. you were great. You should come back. We all loved it. Love, (A picture is worth a thousand words or in this case 16 words. #IAMNOTADEMON) |
For Dr. I love you so much that my heart it is big for you teaching us a lesson. (Is my biological clock that loud?!?!) |
This child was very detailed and accurate in her depiction of the lesson (particularly her attention to my quadriceps). I know she will go far in her medical career.
Dear Dr. you are nice. You are kind. I loved when you teached us about bones and muscles and our heart. It was so cool. Love, (Why are my quads so huge here? She must value my attempts at fitness) |
Cheers to a long summer and a lifetime of learning!
