More Parents in Ganon Aleph!

Tamar's mom and dad came in this week to help celebrate her birthday in school.  Her mom read the book "Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet" by Jane O'Connor, and then gave the book to our class as a gift.  Tamar's dad brought his violin and played some tunes for us.

In honor of Dental Health Month, Evie's dad, "Dr. Eddie", came in with his friends BG Roo and Molar Z Monster to teach the children about dental hygiene.  He taught them about the magic number three when it comes to taking care of our teeth:  how many things we use our teeth for (chewing, smiling, talking), how many sides of the teeth we brush, how many things to clean (teeth, gums, tongue), how many things we use to clean our teeth (toothpaste, mouthwash, floss), and how many times per day we should try and brush our teeth.  He reminded the children not to swallow toothpaste or mouthwash, and sent them home with some dental "goody bags!"

Celebrating Dental Health in Gan Aleph

 In honor of Dental Health month, Dr. Jacobs (otherwise known as Joey's mommy) came to our class and helped us learn all about teeth and what keeps the clean!

We created our own Tooth Book, in which the children wrote and illustrated their own experiences with the dentist or told us about losing teeth etc. We read our book to Dr. Jacobs and enjoyed listening to each others stories! Dr. Jacobs taught Gan Aleph all about good brushing and different ways to help ensure that our teeth stay healthy.

 We even discussed the good foods vs. bad foods for our teeth. We enjoyed looking at Dr. Jacobs giant toothbrush and practicing brushing the stuffed horses teeth! The children in Gan Aleph were so excited to take home their dental health "goody bags!" Gan Aleph is so lucky to have Dr. Jacobs as our "dentist mommy" to help us celebrate dental health!

"Dr. Eddie" Comes to Visit

In honor of Dental Health Month "Dr. Eddie", Brian Jackson's dad, came to Ganon Aleph this morning to talk to the children about taking care of their teeth. He read "The Tooth Book" by Dr. Seuss, and brought his kangaroo friend to teach the children the correct way to brush their teeth. He told the children to always remember the number 3 for taking care of their teeth: Brush your teeth 3 times a day, the 3 places you should brush your teeth (outside, inside, and the top of your tooth), the 3 ways we use our teeth (for eating, for talking, and for smiling), and the 3 things we use on our teeth (toothpaste, mouthwash, and floss.) We learned SO MUCH from Dr. Eddie! Hopefully, we won't be getting any cavities!
