Last week we learned about the letter Q. I am so proud at all the kids at how well they learning the sounds and recognizing their letters. We made some crowns to go along with Q being the beginning letter for Queen. They were so excited about them and loved playing pretend. On thursday last week we did a big unit on dental health. We talked about ways to take care of your teeth and foods you can eat that are good for your teeth and of course the favorite foods that are not so good. I had started a little experiment the night before to show what happens to your teeth when a lot of sugar is on them and you don't brush. It was done with hard boiled eggs. The first egg is normal and hard, just like your enamel on your teeth, when you take good care of them. The second one had mushy soft enamel that causes cavities. The kids faces looked so scared when they felt the soft egg and none of them wanted to have their teeth turn out like that egg. So hopefully they are brushing more at home. I sent home a little chart to help them brush better. If you complete it at home and send it back with your child I will have a special prize for them. For cooking we made fresh homemade juice! Our mixture had apples, oranges, bananas and I put some carrots in as well! Some of the kids were a little nervous to drink it since it had carrots but everyone loved the juice once they tried it. I'm looking forward to our Valentine party next week! If you would still like to help out let me know :)
