Teachers usually don’t like their students to horse around in class, but when it comes to getting visual with learning, you can bet the farm Tethat Temple High School agriculture science teacher Jaycee Thompson will make the exception.
“It is great for them to actually put their hands on the animal and actually feel what we have been learning about,” Thompson said.
Friday afternoon, Thompson brought her horses to class as a part of her lesson plan. In her second year at Temple High, she said it is nothing new for her, but the concept is fresh to her students.
“I have always done this when I teach anatomy because being hands on and seeing it in person helps the students grasp the content so much better,” she said.
Thompson had her class identify the external anatomy of the horse by posting sticky labels all over its body.
