This week students learned a bit of first aid. I began the class by asking them if they or any of their siblings had ever been to the emergency room. As expected, each family had at least one story to tell, and they all enjoyed telling their injury stories.
Then, we continued to talk about the types of injuries that can cared for at home if the right supplies are handy. The checklist given to students is based off one by the Boy Scouts of America. I explained each of the supplies in their first aid kits, and they assembled their own kits.
All first-aid supplies were bought at the local Dollar Tree or grocery store (butterfly-bandages). The plastic containers are just the right size for throwing into a back-pack for a hiking trip! Each student was very proud to have his name on the kit, too.
Wishing all students a Blessed Lent!
