We Have Healthy Teeth!
Lauren Renfro | September 14, 2011 | Comment
During the “All About Me” unit in Strands, children had the opportunity to discover the importance of having healthy teeth. We discussed how teeth are important in many ways. Students discovered that if you take care of your teeth, they’ll help take care of you. Strong, healthy teeth help you chew the right foods to help you grow. They help you speak clearly. And yes, they help you look your best!!! During this activity, each student was given their very own tooth brush and toothpaste to use. The kids really enjoyed brushing their teeth alongside their friends, as well as looking at themselves in the mirror!!
Early Preschool parents were very thrilled to see their child engaged in this activity. One parent even commented, “Oh wow, that’s why she likes to brush her teeth now. I usually have to put up a fight to get her to do it!” Students were ecstatic to have their very own toothbrush to take home and use (twice a day!).
