Greetings Peach Room Parents!
This week we learned all about dental health! The magic number was two. Our friends learned that they can take care of their teeth by brushing them with toothpaste twice a day- once in the morning and once at night for two minutes. That the dentist is a doctor that helps to keep their mouth and teeth healthy and they should visit the dentist twice a year for a cleaning and a check up.
Some of the fun projects we did this week were brushing laminated paper "teeth" to clean off the dry erase marks or "sugar bugs" using real toothpaste and toothbrushes. Our peaches loved the dental set with clay and play dough! Then they brushed their own teeth with brand new tooth brushes and took turns using a mirror. We counted our teeth in the mirror too. As we worked we talked about brushing on the top and bottom, in their cheeks, and all the way in the back and even their tongue. And finally, they enjoyed painting with toothbrushes. This was a quick exploration of important self care (although they probably all still require your help or supervision to brush teeth)! We sang songs and read books all about brushing teeth and going to the dentist.
Today we wished our friend, Guy, farewell. He and his family are moving back to Israel. We made a cake together this morning and our Shabbos Sing a long and party were in his honor. We will miss our good friend but we wish him well in all of his new adventures!
Next week we will be learning all about animals as pets. We will be joining the other classrooms to experience a real live pet each day! Please bring a picture of your child's favorite pet, it could be a relatives pet if you do not have your own or even a stuffed animal! We will be sharing them as a group.
Don't forget, the Book Fair begins Monday with Breakfast and a Book from 8-9 am if you want to bring your child. Wednesday from 4:30-5:30 there will be Popcorn and PJ's for Story time as well.
Thank you for another wonderful week of learning and fun! Shabbat Shalom!
