People Who Accomplished Great Things







In People Who Accomplished Great Things we studied Marie Curie in January.  Our students had a wonderful field trip to Dr. Bill Sullivan's Oakdale Animal Hospital to get a behind the scenes tour and to learn about how Curie's work impacts the field of veterinary medicine.  Dr. Sullivan showed the students a plethora of ways to conduct x-rays and how digital technology has changed the way x-rays are conducted.
Students also heard from Endodontist, Dr. Dusty Watts, in our class.  He talked about how x-ray technology aids his work in root canals etc.  The students were amazed to see how the x-rays guide his work.
     Jillian Crosby is showing her artwork she presented as a review of our Leonardo da Vinci study.  She is a great artist!
     The final picture is of our students getting a tour of Mission  First's Dental and Medical facility in downtown Jackson.  This field trip served as a follow up to our study on Florence Nightingale.  Charitable work like this was what Nightingale inspired.  Thanks to Brandi Crosby and Paula Stogner for helping me haul the kids back and forth.  What a great group!  I know they have learned about some truly great minds and people this year.  It is my prayer that this class inspires them to aspire to do great things for God!
