🩺🏥 Hospital Day in 3rd Grade! 🏥🩺
Mrs. Probst’s 3rd graders turned into “place value doctors” today during Hospital Day! 💉 They diagnosed “sick” numbers, performed “math surgery,” solved mixed up base-ten x-rays, and helped their patients recover by practicing place value skills.
Learning + imagination = an unforgettable day! Way to go, 3rd graders — your hard work and caring doctor skills saved the day! 👩⚕️👨⚕️📚
