Dental Hygiene

2010-03-03T12:47:00.003-05:00

Ms. Mandy and Mrs. Michelle recently soaked hard-boiled eggs over night in pepsi to demonstrate the affects of not properly brushing your teeth. The eggs turned brown and with a little bit of brushing, they were pearly white again!

Ms. Mandy demonstrates the proper way to brush your teeth.

Sabrina and Lauren from Dr. Howell's office visited with our students on February 23rd in honor of Dental Month. Students had so much fun learning to brush away the "stinkbugs" and sugarbugs". Sabrina and Lauren told students to be sure to brush twice each day, only drink water at night, and gave students their very own toothbrush.

Students wearing their "tooth hats" while listening to Sabrina and Lauren talk about the importance of taking care of your teeth.

During the week of March 8-12, we are learning about the letter Vv, the number 15 and the square. We will continue to review our colors. The title of our unit is "We thank God for Plants".
