In October, Ty’s class spent a few weeks learning about community workers. It was no surprise that when asked to draw himself as a community worker – he chose a train conductor.
He also enjoyed drawing train pictures for me at the YMCA afterschool program.

The class was asked to decide what kind of workplace they wanted to transform their classroom into. After the kids came up with about 5 ideas, the class voted. The majority voted for an animal hospital. Then they had to come up with a name for their Hospital. They decided on Magical Pet Animal Hospital. They spent about a week putting together all the tools they would need to open their Magical Pet Hospital. The Parents were invited to the Grand Opening on Wednesday October 20, 2010. The classroom was transformed into an Animal Hospital for the day.
The children were all dressed up as Doctors and each had their own animal (stuffed) to care for.
We began in the waiting area and checked in at the reception area where Ty received his check list.
1. Weigh his animal at the scales
2. Examine his animal at one of 5 exam tables
3. X-ray his animal (the children had previously drawn an X-ray of their animal on black paper) – this was really cute
4. Wash their animal in the bath
5. Give their animal the appropriate medicine
6. Check back in at the reception desk
It was an exciting and fun day for the kids to show off all the work they had done in preparation for the big day.
