Look Ma, I Brushed my Teeth!

This week we learned all about how to keep our bodies and teeth healthy. 

We learned how to keep our teeth healthy by brushing them at least twice a day.  Don't forget to return your "My Tooth Brushing Chart" next week to get a special prize.  We also learned what food are healthy for our teeth and what foods might give us sugar bugs if we don't brush our teeth after eating them.  We made a fun tooth stencil out of a sponge and painted a picture with it. 

Next, we learned about "My Healthy Plate".  We played a fun game that taught us to sort foods by food group and then used those food groups to build a healthy plate.  We took some healthy fruits and veggies and painted with them.  It was lots of fun!

We also learned about the letter O and the number 13.  We continue to practice our counting to 100 by 1's, 10's and have recently added 5's.  The children are doing great at this. 

I want to remind parents that we completed mid-year assessments and if you did not have time to meet with me to go over it, I would be happy to set a time up for next week. 

Next week we will be celebrating Valentine's Day.  Please remember to send a shoe box wrapped in plain paper (not decorated) to school for your child.  Also, you may send valentine's for your child to pass out on Thursday.  My AM class has 16 students (7 boys/9 girls), my PM class has 17 students (11 boys/6 girls).
