Teeth

We had fun talking about teeth this week.  We read the pop up book Brush Your Teeth Please. Click the link to see the book.  The kids really enjoyed looking through this on their own after we read it as a class!   pop up book

We also read the book The Mitten and Tooth Trouble, both stories about animals with big teeth!

The kids each shared something they know about teeth and about going to the dentist.

We learned a song called Brush Your Teeth by Raffi.  We had fun singing it all week!  Brush Your Teeth song

Ellis was our Maple Leaf of the Week.  Her mom and dad are both chefs so they brought in homemade cupcakes (yum!!) and let the kids decorate them. We had so much fun doing this for snack on Thursday.  Thanks Ellis and family for helping make our week so special!

A beautiful cupcake and delicious too!!

Other things we worked with during the week included Play Mobile vet center, Play Mobile fire truck and figurines, trains, cars, blocks, polar animals, kitchen center, stencils, and Calico Critters Play House and figurines.  Mrs. Chyko showed us how to use a toothbrush to paint a tooth shaped cut out. We loved mixing the colors on the tooth!  Mrs. Swietlik helped us make a hippo using mini marshmallows as their teeth and Mrs. Gould helped us make a dinosaur out of shapes.
