Cavity Fighting Shields

We have started dental health month activities. Today, we read a story called "Make Way for Tooth Decay." In this book, we learned lots of ways to protect our teeth from cavities. Afterward, we made cavity fighting shields. On each section of the shield, we wrote/drew ways we could help protect our teeth. Here are the 6 ideas we came up with from the book:
1. Brush your teeth 2 times a day
2. Floss your teeth
3. Use mouth wash
4. Go to the dentist 2 times a year
5. Not eating a lot of candy and sweets
6. Eat more fruits and vegetables
Here are a few friends holding up their shields:









Here's a few close-ups of the shields:





On a sad note: Mrs. Larson, another kindergarten teacher, lost her husband in a motorcycle accident. Last Friday, every kindergarten class either colored or water-colored flowers. Our class water-colored flowers. Then, the flowers were taped to popsicle sticks and placed into a basket. It turned out great and Mrs. Larson loved it.
