Brush, Brush, Brush Your Teeth!

 Brush, Brush, Brush your teeth! Every Night and Day!  Brush'em, Brush'em everyday so they won't decay! This week we learned how important it is to take care of our teeth.  We learned that we need our teeth to smile, to eat AND to talk. 

Protect those smiles!

Even Curious George knows to brush, brush, brush!

We conducted an experiment this week to show how important it is to take care of our teeth. We placed an egg in three separate containers.

 One contained "sugar bugs"or vinegar, one had water and one had soda.

Each day we checked to see what was happening to "our teeth".  We saw how the sugar bugs made our tooth become very soft and eventually get a "cavity"!  The soda stained our tooth and we saw how the water did not change our tooth!  We now know it is very important to brush and floss  to get rid of plaque ("sugar bugs") and stains on our teeth.

We also played a "Dental" game to reinforce counting and matching numerals to sets.
