Dental Health

February is Dental Health month.

Your class will have a lot to SMILE about after completing this packet.

The craft can be used to decorate a door or bulletin board.

This little goodie needs no pattern.  Simple shapes make an adorable "I lost a tooth!" display.

Several pieces of literature are suggested to enhance the topic.

Each literature piece is followed by a comprehension activity.

Predict, recall, sequence and more.

There is informational text in the form of a mini book and then a reading for detail page.

Each are followed by assessment and graphic organizers for collecting facts.

Not shown here are pages for final writing copies.

There is a toothbrushing song in the form of a mini book followed by a game and activities that focus on how to keep teeth healthy.

Word work is also included.

I especially love the vocabulary for posting.

Colorful and includes pictures.

For at home activities students keep a tooth brushing chart for a week.

There is also a door hanger in both color and black and white for coloring.

Writing about the tooth fairy can also be completed.

Finally the packet ends with a book to make about students who lose a tooth.

I use a three ring binder.

Each student has a page for making tallies of when they lose a tooth.

In the pocket I keep badges run on full page label paper for the students to wear that day.

I also reward them with a treat.

Inexpensive from the Dollar Store or Oriental Trading.

Finally I keep baggies on hand to put the tooth in if it is lost at school.

This is also available as a "freebie"!

Erasers from Oriental Trading.  They also have pencils.
