Teeth

Group Meeting:  February is Dental Health month.  Many of our activities for today revolved around taking care of our teeth.

Story:  The story for today was The Tooth Book by Dr. Seuss.  People and most animals have teeth.  We use our teeth to eat, talk and smile.  Our teeth are important, so we should take care of them.  Ask your child to tell you what you should not do with your teeth. 

Large Group:  The children watched a video about animal teeth.  Some animals are carnivores and have sharp teeth.  Some animals are herbivores and have flat teeth.  After the video, the children cut their magazine to make a little book.  Then, they circled the things on the last page that are good for healthy teeth.

Letter Learning:  The letter for today was Kk.

Snacks:  The morning snack was strawberries and Wheat Thins brought by Brea.  The afternoon snack was cheese sticks and applesauce brought by Eliza.  Thank you, Brea and Eliza!
