February 16th, 2012

Announcements:
  • Thanks for making the carnival such a success!  It was so much fun!
  • *NEW* March 1st: Walk to Dr. Dvorak's dental clinic, 136 W. Main St. - this was not on the original schedule!  Remember to have the kids dressed appropriately for this short walk just across the street!
Activities:
  • Snack Helpers: Tyler
  • Projects:  We worked on our booklet of experiences, and we sewed around a Valentine heart for a special valentine!
  • Stories (it's children's dental health month!):  Tooth Trouble, My Dentist, and Brushing Well!
  • We've got mail:  We learned about healthy or unhealthy food!  We sorted healthy and unhealthy foods onto a happy tooth and a sad tooth depending on the type of food!
  • Dismiss for snack activity:  Position teddy bears:  under, over, behind, inside
  • Dora's clues:  toothbrush, dental floss, toothpaste - Dora wants to brush her teeth!  We found a cute bear brushing his teeth to color and talked about taking care of our teeth.
  • Mortimer the puppet:  introduced the Letter O!  He found an Orange in the woods and he had it in his mouth- he is so silly!
  • A puppet, called Chef Combo, came to visit us!  He talked to us about eating healthy food.  You always need to have at least 2 bites when you try new food or food you think you don't like!  (Thanks Chef Combo!!)
  • Songs: Smile Song, sung to "skip to my lou", and Toothbrushing Song, sung to "peanut butter and jelly"
  • Hope you enjoyed looking at all of the Valentines the kids brought home!
