Occupational Therapist Visits
5th Grade Health Class


 In Health class, 5th graders have begun to study the human body. While reviewing the human skeleton, they learned that the human body has over 200 bones. Mrs. Kellie McBroom, an occupational therapist, visited the 5th graders classroom and shared models of bones that she uses at work. She brought an arm, a hand, a spinal column, a shoulder, and a hip for the students to see. Students also learned that most of these bones can be repaired or replaced when necessary.
