BodyWalk!

The BodyWalk



 




We entered mouth and talked about keeping our teeth clean and eating healthy foods.

We practiced brushing our teeth!!


Next, we went into the stomach


then the heart,


We learned we need to eat healthy foods to keep our heart strong.



Next we meet Wendy, the lungs.


We learned to keep our lungs healthy.  They gave us a straw the try and blow through to demonstrate what its like to have an unhealthy lung.  We all decided we want to help keep our lungs healthy. 


Next, we learned about keeping strong bones.


Then we explored our muscles.

Last, we learned how to keep our skin protected from the sun.


And we came out of the skin!!


We enjoyed learning about our body and ways to keep it healthy!!

Community Field Trip

What a day! 
The Cleveland community has so many special people and places.

We began at Fleming Lumber Company.

Daniel Jordan told us about the goods and services his company provides.
Thank you, Mr. Jordan!  Your business makes our homes secure and lovely.

 

Then, we headed south to the Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department.
Brad Horton and Todd Livingston met us there.

Firefighters always "take a knee" when they are learning something important.

They showed us all the equipment and told us about the responsibilities of firefighters.
It is essential that firefighters listen to their chief and do the job they are assigned.

Guess what?  Firefighters need maps, too!


Then, it was our turn...


Nathan got the call.



 
Reese was the chief.

 
Everybody had a job to do.






Thank you, Cleveland firefighters! 
We appreciate the safety your service provides for our community!

 


Next, we headed east to the sculpture garden at Delta State University.

Mrs. Nan Sanders happily greeted us when we arrived.
She shared the dream of her dear friend, Pam Matthews - a sculpture garden.


 
The sculptures currently on display were all created by men!

They are creative, different, and inspiring.  Everybody got to pick their favorite.

 




Thank you, Mrs. Sanders! Your service makes our community a more beautiful place to live.
You are beautiful, too!  :) 


 
Back in our cars, we headed north to Lost Pizza Company!
They provided delicious pizza, refreshing drinks, and delightful pizza dough!


Thank you, Lost Pizza Company! 
We love to eat your goods!




After lunch, we traveled south to the United States Post Office in Boyle, MS.
The postmaster is near and dear to PDS because he is Mrs. Carol Kyle's husband!
Earlier in the week, we had written a special letter to someone at PDS.
This was our opportunity to purchase a stamp and mail our letters.





Thank you, Mr. Kyle!  Everyone enjoys sending and receiving REAL mail!
We had fun at the post office!

 

Our final destination?
Wade Tractor Company

Mr. Bo Howell welcomed us with big smile, and a big tractor,


and a little tractor!  :)

We saw the showroom...



the parts department...


and the service department.


Asking for a tractor ride....


Thank you, Mr.Howell and Louie, for the awesome tractor ride!




The goods and services your company provides meets the unique needs of our Delta community.
