Guest Speakers
At least once a month BEARS invites guest speakers to share their expertise with each of our classes. From this year's speakers we learned:
- Fire safety from the UA Fire Department - They taught us not to be scared of all of their cool fire gear.
- The importance of giving to those less fortunate from the Mid Ohio Food Bank - They conducted a canned food drive at Thanksgiving.
- Nutrition information from a nutritionist who discussed how to make healthy food choices.
- Yoga and the importance of physical activity from Meghan Harder - Wow! We are so flexible!
- Hibernating Habits of Bears from Highland Metro Parks - We wore our pajamas for Hibernation day and even touch real bear fur!
- Dental health from Dr. Fair - Now we all know the importance of brushing and flossing. We even received toothbrushes and mini hourglasses to make sure we spend enough time brushing!
- All about cold blooded critters from Battelle Darby Creek. We saw frogs, turtles and snakes and even got to touch them if we chose to!
- Child safety from Officer Heather Galli who took our fingerprints and photos to help keep us safe. She let us try on handcuffs, too!
