The best teachers find a way to make their students passionate about learning. Most students are lucky to run into one or two teachers that can make important lessons memorable for all the right reasons.
Third-grade teacher Veronica Duqué has garnered praise from people in social media who love the way she’s teaching her students a subject that can be a little bit…funny. Especially for smaller kids.
We’re talking about anatomy.

Remembering long and strange names for muscles, organs, and bones is hard for almost any kid. I’d bet you’ve forgotten most of what you once knew about the topic, right?
Duqué’s students remember a little easier, thanks to an anatomy suit she found online for sale. She told Bored Panda,
“I was surfing the internet when an ad of an AliExpress swimsuit popped up. Knowing how hard it is for kids this young to visualize the disposition of internal organs, I thought it was worth it giving it a try.”
Her husband, Mike originally tweeted pictures of his wife wearing the suit.
Translation: I’m so proud of this volcano of ideas I’m lucky to have as my wife. Today she explained the human body to her students in a very original way. The children loved it!
But the teacher has more tricks up her sleeve, Duqué said:
“I decided long ago to use disguises for history lessons. I’m also using cardboard crowns for my students to learn grammatical categories such as nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Different grammar kingdoms, so to say.”
Needless to say, the coverage she’s gotten is well-deserved.
