We squeezed in two themes this week and managed to have a variety of visitors too. Thanks to the orthodontist, Seth Ernstberger, who visited us on Thursday and all the parents who volunteered at our Valentine's Day Party on Friday. We had a lot of fun both days, and I hope you enjoy the pics. See you next week!
Liam took home our Gumby last week, and he was able to tell us about all his fun adventures with him.
We painted teeth with toothbrushes. :)
We created toothbrushes by tearing paper and cotton balls.
Look at that great tracing! Keep up the great work!
We pretended like we were flossing teeth by using string to "floss out" playdough between Mega Blocks. This was a challenging fine motor activity, but it was a great way to talk about dental health!
We made our Valentine card carriers before our party.
We had a visit from an orthodontist in our area, Seth Ernstberger. He showed us some funny pics of teeth and taught us how to take care of our teeth.
I took a few pics of our pearly whites this week. Can you guess which teeth belong to which student?
It's time to read and play!
Our sensory bin had dolls and toothbrushes this week so we could pretend to brush their teeth.
We did an experiment on hard boiled eggs by putting one in water and one in Pepsi. We said the eggs were like teeth, and when we soaked the eggs in both liquids, the one in Pepsi turned brown. This shows how unhealthy foods can stain and harm our teeth.
Class Valentine's Party
We made heart-beaded bracelets on pipe cleaners for great fine motor practice.
We made headbands with hearts on them.
We sorted our candy hearts by color and counted them on a graph.
We made door knob hangers with our names on them. We're still working hard to spell our names and put our letters in the right order when we do spell it.
We cut out watermelon in shapes of hearts, our shape of the week. Yummy! Mrs. Hannah also listened to our hearts at this station with a stethoscope. This was a great way to talk about heart health while we ate watermelon hearts too!
We had yogurt pouches for snacks at our party too.
Fun had by all!
Parents, thanks again for all your continued support! I'm so blessed to have such great help!
