Choosing Time: Dominoes, Little People Village, Cushions, Books
We painted some paper yellow teeth white with old toothbrushes.
Science: We had 2 experiments today to help reinforce why brushing our teeth is so important.
1) I gave each child an oreo cookie to eat. We passed around a couple of mirrors for them to see what happened to their teeth. Many of us were surprised and shocked by the black residue on our teeth. I then gave each child a tiny slice of apple to eat. (For the sake of our experiment even our picky eaters ate an apple slice :) We passed the mirrors around again to see what may have happened...We then discussed the impact different kinds of foods have on our teeth. We all agreed that making healthy food choices is important.After Oreos:
Music: We learned a fun chant to remind us how to brush:
I know how to brush my teeth
I brush on top and underneath
Up like a rocket
Down like a plane
Back and forth like a choo choo train
We also learned a fun song sung to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat":
Brush, Brush, Brush Your Teeth
Brush, brush, brush your teeth
Brush them everyday
Up & down & round and round
Brush the germs away!
Math: A Mouth Full of 32 Teeth
We took turns rolling a dice. We then marked a tooth for every number rolled. The first one to fill in all his teeth won! I think Spencer came in first! This was a fun way to practice counting.
