2022 Week 21 Dental Health and Valentines

 

First of all, Thank you for all the birthday wishes, cards, and gifts! What a lovely day I had complete with a GLITTER BOMB at 7:30am in our classroom!

Haha! The kids LOVED it! So did I!

 This photo was taken right after the glitter was scattered EVERYWHERE! 

Last Friday the kids created their Valentines buckets. Thank to everyone who send their kiddo's valentines in early so we can get a start on delivering them!

We made you a valentine because we 

"LOVE YOU TO PIECES!"

This was Ms. S's project on Wednesday...

  

Back to last Friday...

We had a PANDA day!

It was complete with panda facts and a panda project.

What fun!

Tuesday's centers included:

Practice "brushing" our teeth!

We also labeled the basic parts...crown and roots.

The kiddos also got a brand new toothbrush!

At Ms. S's table the kids sorted pictures onto happy teeth and sad teeth...

At Mrs. Sauer's table we counted on...

Ms. Martinez helped us find sight words...

We had a playdo table with teeth activities and valentines toys...

During choice time the dental health table had fun activities including brushing those gigantic teeth!

The kids have rediscovered the large abc puzzle!
