“Why do you teach?”
This is my “why”👇
The student created an Easter egg hunt game to practice learning muscle origins, insertions, and actions with her classmates for our Applied Kinesiology class. The eggs even had surprises inside if you got the answer right!
So fun and creative!

Want your baby/ toddler to help teach future PTA students? Dr. D is updating her videos of infant, toddler, and preschool (birth to 3 years old) “normal developmental”. If you are interested (& willing!) to create and/or share some short videos of your child doing normal baby/toddler/ preschooler gross and fine motor things, please send them to Dr. D at [email protected]
Thank you!!

(Videos will only be used for educational purposes in class and will not be posted on any public site.)

Our PTA students are prepping for final exams in a few weeks. We are so thankful for the FSCJ Anatomy & Physiology students who volunteer their time to serve as mock “patients”. Our PTA students are having so much fun “treating” them!
