This week in preschool we learned about that scary person called the dentist! Wouldn't you know that he isn't that scary after all! He actually is pretty cool because he has different tasting toothpaste and even encourages us to spit! Everyone in preschool thinks that keeping our teeth clean and brushing after every meal is very important! We even talked about our baby teeth falling out and our grown up teeth coming in. We thought it was pretty neat how the gap in our mouth grows a bigger tooth.

We practiced cutting skills and writting our names with an uppercase and lowercase letters while putting together our giant toothbrushes. We even painted our brown teeth white, with paint. What was most fun was using tooth paste and tooth brushes to turn our coffee stained shells white. We ended our week with a popcorn party! We all worked so hard to earn this treat and I am so proud of them.

Thank you to all who donated coins for Pennies for Partients. In your child's folder you will find a St. Jude's Mathathon form and packet. If you would like your child to participate please fill out and return the form. Also, it's that time of year already! We are collecting donations for our classroom Tricky Tray basket. Mrs. Sandorff is our classroom coordinator and our theme is camping! What a great basket this will be! You can send in your donation to this basket with your child and I will be sure to see that Mrs. Sandorff receives it. If you do not have time to shop and would like to give a monatery donation, please feel free to. Also, you may want to purchase your tickets to this event soon because the tickets do sell out. Have a great weekend!
