We spent the week talking about healthy teeth, including foods to keep them healthy, brushing morning and night, and visits to the dentist. We even had a pediatric dentist, Dr. Katie McCafferty (an MWS parent) talk to all the children about taking care of their teeth. Dr. McCafferty had a very large model of a mouth and equally large toothbrush. The children each had a turn to practice brushing the large teeth.

I hope you enjoyed all of the teeth art projects as much as the children enjoyed making them. We even had a tooth join us during Circle Time. You’ll have to ask your child to tell you how to sing to a tooth. Here are some of the play choices that were available this week:

The children have created a piece of art that will go home next week with the Original Works Art Fundraiser information. The children were particularly excited about making a picture that goes along nicely with a book we read this week. In this story, a Papa uses a ladder to go to the moon for his daughter. You will understand what I mean when the Original Works packet goes home.
