Dental Health Month

Teeth are one of the most important parts of your body.
They give your face shape. They help you talk.
They help you bite and chew food.

First, you have 20 baby teeth. by the time you are six
or so, these teeth start to loosen up and fall out!

Your 32 adult teeth push them out
and grow in their place!

Brush your teeth and floss them too,
For healthy, happy teeth!

Happy Healthy Teeth!

Staff from Pediatric Dentistry came to Kindergarten to
teach the students to brush, floss and shine teeth!

Dressing as a Dentist helps students know what to expect at the office.

We are bright teeth! Who will floss us?
Students in the class were chosen to represent the teeth
in a mouth, then other students helped demonstrate how to floss.

See-saw down and then scrape up. Way to go!

Going to the Dentist can be fun.

Let the Building Begin!

Building an igloo takes lots of time, energy and MILK JUGS!

Thanks for drinking lots of milk at home and sending jugs to school. . .
Our igloo is very cool!

Winter Fun!

We had a great time collecting milk jugs to
create an awesome igloo!

Over 200 milk jugs were used to create the igloo.

Now we can have fun reading, playing
and putting puzzles together with our
friends in our igloo!

We Love Snow!

Jan Brett Stories

As part of our study of the author Jan Brett, we read
a kindergarten favorite "The Mitten".

A mitten is left in the snow by a little boy and
cold animals squeeze in one by one until. . .

The mitten bulges to many times its original size and when the
small meadow mouse makes the bear sneeze, well all the animals
are left out in the cold once more!

Help us please, so we won't freeze. . .

The mitten in the snow!

The Polar Express

"Well are you coming?"
"Where?" I asked.
"Why, to the North Pole of course!"

We took a pretend ride on "The Polar Express" and made
our way to the top of the world where every Christmas toy is made.

Make sure you have your train ticket!
Hop on board for a magical trip on "The Polar Express."

We watched the movie "The Polar Express", ate cookies and
drank chocolate milk! Wearing our pajamas was lots of fun, too!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
