Dental Health Month

This past Monday we started our dental health unit. We read the following books with wonderful information about what we can do to keep our teeth healthy.

     

The class created a web to organize information that they already knew in addition to what they learned from the books about how to keep teeth healthy.

 

The kids drew diagrams showing the parts of a tooth and self-portraits in which they labeled the types of baby teeth they each have or have had. To close out our unit, we will conduct a science experiment using eggs to demonstrate how different drinks affect our teeth. In addition, a special guest will come and talk to us about being a dentist in our local community. She also happens to be the mom of one of our 2nd graders!
