Brush those teeth!

We have lots of fun stuff going on this week regarding dental health.  At home, you can let them use an old toothbrush to paint.  It is a great utensil and it allows them to practice brushing!  Talk to them about what foods and drinks and habits are great for good teeth.  They will start telling you all about it.

Something simple and exciting we will be adding to our class next week are ISPY bottles.  I came across this and thought you might be interested in adding this to your home.  They are simple and very engaging.  You and your child could do this together.

If you have not yet returned your international week form, please consider volunteering your time.  So far, Mexico will be present. We need MORE! The children LOVE to learn all about different cultures and countries. 

Finally, Next week is one of my favorite weeks...DR. SEUSS WEEK! We will be not only reading a TON of his books, but we will be making little passports, hats, projects, making and eating green eggs and toast with green butter (green ham is too yucky for them!) and much more.  Ask them each day about Dr. Seuss and try to take them to the library to pick out a Dr. Seuss book they don't have at home. 

God Bless and be warm.
