Dental Health!

This week the theme was dental health. We learned how to keep our teeth strong, healthy, and clean! Our sensory bin was filled with pretend teeth that we brushed with magic foam and flossed. We learned which food our teeth like to eat to keep them shiny white, and which food our teeth do not like to eat. We taste tested toothpaste and made a picture graph. Most of our friends liked bubblegum flavored toothpaste. Our favorite snack was two pieces of apple stuck together with peanut butter, and filled with mini marshmellows to look like teeth! Our crafts included teeth made out of glittery tissue paper, using floss as paintbrushes, and painting toothbrushes. This week, our teacher's assistant Miss Nikki lead us in Kid Yoga! We loved it so much that we will be doing it twice a week in the gym. Our poem of the week was:

My Toothbrush

I have a little toothbrush!
I hold it very tight.
I brush my teeth each morning
And at night!

  1. This blog is great! I had one just like it when I was at Clarence - same background and all!

    I LOVE the yoga pics of the Triangle pose. I am so glad that kids are enjoying the incorporation of yoga in the classroom! ;o)

    Congratulations on your new position - so excited for you!
