East Northport Middle School 6th grade students recently learned to care
for infants in Mr. Robert’s family and consumer science class. During
this babysitting unit, students were taught how to perform tasks
including to change a baby's diaper, how to feed and burp the child, and
more. Students also learned important pieces of information for the
child’s safety, such as why it’s necessary to support a newborn’s head
and neck.
The unit culminated with the students creating tri-fold brochure which
advertises what they learned, and why they would make a great
babysitter.
