Dental Health Month!

Februrary is dental health month!  We celebrated at Erie Elementary with a special assembly put on by Delta Dental.  The kids loved seeing Tooth Wizard and Mr. Plaque argue about what is good and bad for your teeth.  It was super cute.  Each student received and goodie bag from the Tooth Wizard.  They go a new toothbrush, dental floss, and a tube of toothpaste.

In the classroom we also talked about taking care of our pearly whites=)  Students sorted pictures of food into good and bad categories.  We discussed what we use our teeth and why they are important. We also did an experiment with eggs, water, and soda.  It was interesting to hear what my kiddos hypothesized about the egg in soaking in the water.  This was a great example of what soda can do to our teeth.

To end the week, students made a huge toothbrush with bristles that explain how to brush your teeth.  They used the key words first, next, then, and last to explain the steps.

KEEP BRUSHING KIDS!!!!
