Brush your teeth!

6-B is enjoying our current discovery unit on Dental health. Above we made our very own toothbrushes which will be sent home with a chart. Stickers will be provided and can be placed on the chart each morning and evening that the friends brush their teeth.  
We spoke about the proper way to brush our teeth and even saw a demonstration with these large props. 
Many friends are looking forward to playing and practicing proper brush strokes with this prop tomorrow.
Above you can see our most recent portfolio page highlighting the different parts of a tooth.
Look forward to more posts soon on our exploration of dental hygiene.


Sight Word Memory

The readers enjoyed practicing their new sight words with a game of memory! Everyone was able to win a pair!

Bravo Friends!

A Visit From The Messenger Fairy

6-E received a note from the Messenger Fairy saying that she would visit Calvert with an important message from the Tooth Fairy.  This was perfect timing as we are just starting our discovery unit on Dental Health.
The Messenger Fairy read us a story about teeth.  She also took a look at all of our bright smiles asking if we brushed and flossed our teeth.  She did a demonstration on how to properly floss and even brought a tooth brush for each Sixth Age Student.
Before she left the Messenger Fairy took a picture with 6-B
What an exciting day! Thanks for inviting us 6-E!
