Go Where You're Needed

Thank you all for passing my "test" this week. When I told everyone..."new seating chart", students proceeded to find their seats -most of you. This was a test of cooperation, flexibility and adapting to a changing environment. Good job. This is what good employees/volunteers are made of. My no-whining policy is in full effect. :/

I'll send home the order form for the uniforms and CPR tomorrow. Please advise your parents that they can call me if there are any questions.

Tomorrow: MT #4 due and the medical research paper (homework).

Please have your parents call me if there are any questions regarding the TB tests, thank you.

More brainy stuff tomorrow too.

Have a wonderful evening!

Thank you

Hi Folks,

Thanks for representing the program so well today during the field trip. I feel the information received today was helpful to you in making some decisions about college.

DUE FRIDAY: MT #4 and the homework assignment on medical research.

SATURDAY: CMAA Meeting at "On the Border" Restaurant (Topic: EMS Services/EMT)

I am working diligently on site placements. Please bring in any information regarding site preferences. I'll need the name of the facility/physician, address, ph# and contact person in their office or clinic. I'll be meeting with all of you in the coming weeks and setting up your interviews.

I'll see you all tomorrow and thanks again.

Just Say "No" to Drugs, Say "Yes" to Health

Hi Everyone,

We found out what certain drugs can do to the human body when used inappropriately. Just say no to brain damage and life altering drama - say no to drugs. (Unless prescribed and used correctly!)

Please ask your parents about home remedies. Some of these really work! Some don't. Share yourfindings.

Our focus is the brain and nervous system this week. Use those fantastic brains of yours and bring your comments and questions to discussion and lecture this week. Show me the participation !!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL STUDENTS ! PERFECT ATTENDANCE FOR BOTH CLASSES!

Have a great evening.

~Mrs. Erceg

Homework

Friday night homework? Yes...you know what to do! Tell your parents about your nice progress report, show it to them. Tell them what you learned today - I know they'll appreciate all of your hard work. You all deserve a round of applause for good attitudes and classroom conduct.

Practice telling time in "military time". It's the way things are done in a hospital. Was the baby born at 8:00 a.m. or 8:00 p.m.? Is it 0800? I'll ask you to tell me what time it is a lot next week.

Next week we'll study the nervous system and special senses.

Have a great weekend!

Okay, I missed one....

Well, nightly blogs are my thing...but last night the only one that got out was for the GHS seniors.

Don't despair! I will not miss very many all year.

I am SO PROUD of my classes! Everyone had such great questions today, you were all very engaged in the lessons and attentive. You were polite, punctual and have had great attendance. These are the behaviors I hope for and will rely on when you are out at site.

REMINDER: Tues: TB Test Wed 10/8 FIELD TRIP TO LPC - have lunch prior to the event, wear appropriate clothing and closed-toed and closed-heel shoes. I'm looking forward to this!

Tomorrow we'll continue our lessons on the reproductive system, PDR and legal issues/ethics.

Take care and have a great evening.

~Mrs. Erceg

p.s. Is it "prostrate gland" or "prostate gland" ? Lie down and think about it. LOL

For GHS Seniors Only.....
