Happy tooth/Sad tooth

 We sorted some toy food today, talked about how healthy (or not) it was, and then flipped our tooth around to show a happy tooth or a sad tooth! One student did notice that there were sure a lot more healthy food than "once in a while" or "treat" foods. But no matter what we eat, we must remember to brush our teeth at least twice a day to help keep them healthy! We did discuss that after breakfast and before bedtime are two great times to brush our teeth!

I took this photo yesterday- just had to share!

Mr. Wesselius brought in some books for us to choose a new library book. Please return the book by the next Day 6.

Don't rush when you brush!

Today we brushed our teeth!  Not the teeth in our mouth!  First we coloured the gums on the picture of teeth, and then used toothbrushes and pretend toothpaste (white paint) to brush our teeth!  Hopefully everyone remembers to brush their teeth before they go to bed, and after eating breakfast in the morning. We don't want those sugar bugs to make cavities in our teeth!

  Today we did a what comes "before" and "after" number activity. I wrote the number 10, and the kids took turns filling in the missing numbers. Some kids thought this was too easy, and wanted something more challenging!  So.... then I wrote the number 92.... and some kids filled in the missing numbers!

 

Spring Brings Colourful things!

We used different coloured squares to make a colour pattern -- to create a vase!  Then we drew flowers in the vase, and finally, we used water colour paints to add colour to the flowers!

What's on your plate? Room 9 has been showing a lot of interest in identifying healthy snacks and foods!

A special THANK YOU very much to Hannah and her family - who donated a whole bunch of special surprises that have been added to our class Treasure Chest!  

The items are sure to bring many smiles!

Thank you!!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

Earth Day

                                                    Our Earth artwork!

We looked at a picture of how earth looks from space. We noticed a lot of blue and green. We did some artwork and used tissue paper to represent the land and water on our picture of the earth. Some of our artwork is already hanging up in our window.

 We spent some extra time playing outside today. It is earth day, after all! We took the bubbles outside and some kids had fun chasing them. We even took the hand sanitizer outside and ate our snack outside, too!  

We did an activity on the Smart Board, where we had to collect the garbage and sort it into the appropriate can (recycle, garbage, compost). We noticed that the cleaner the area got, the more animals came out!  We need to help keep their homes clean! 

          We did an "Earth Day Around the Room" activity. Everyone had to search for the little earth pictures posted around the room  (and they each had a number and a sight word on them), and then copy that sight word beside the corresponding number on their paper!

Happy Teeth/Sad Teeth

Why do we need our teeth?

We have been learning about our teeth and healthy foods versus not as healthy foods. We discussed food that we could eat every day (like fruits and vegetables)  and foods/treats that we would only want to eat once in a while - not every day!  We sorted food pictures onto our happy tooth and our sad tooth with cavities.
