Dental Health

This week we learned all about our BIG beautiful teeth!  Just look at all of them we have.





We were so blessed to have Dr. Jenkins and his puppet Bobo visit our classroom today and teach us all about brushing and flossing.  He taught us to brush twice a day, and Bobo showed us how to brush so we didn't miss a spot.  He taught us to do the tops, bottoms, insides, outsides, and our tongue!  It was a lot of fun to watch Bobo show us all about brushing!



After Dr. Jenkins taught us all about dental health, we were able to go back to our room and practice our brushing and flossing skills.  We used a Expo marker, toothbrush, and a tooth cut out to brush away stains and an egg carton and yarn to floss away decay!






It took A LOT of hardwork to brush some of those stains away, and A LOT of hand eye cordination to get our floss in the right spot.

We also worked on our cutting skills while making a toothbrush that reminded us to "Brush everyday."




Then just for fun we made a tooth puppet that had our tooth song for the week.  "Brush, brush. brush your teeth"




It was another great day with a great group of kids.  Thank you so much for all you do.
