Weekly Theme: Health and Hygiene

Weekly Letter: Z

We are LOVING learning about Health and Hygiene this week! Today, Blue group learned about how we lose our teeth as we grow up by reading Tooth on the Loose! by Linda Jennings and Gwyneth Williamson. In this book, Titus the goat realizes it's very difficult to eat with a loose tooth and asks his friends to help him get it out! Our Red group read Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late by Mo Willems. This book emphasizes the importance of getting a good night's rest so we don't feel tired the next day!

To continue building on our idea of personal hygiene and self-care, we learned how to brush teeth in a circle with tooth brushes, shaving cream, and big smiley faces in our first small group activity. In our second small group activity, we put germs on our hands by spreading baby oil and glitter ALL over them. The kiddos had to learn how to wash correctly to effectively remove all of the "germs" off of their hands! In our last large group activity, we made our letter "Z"s into zebras to expand upon our "Z word" vocabulary. Check out the pictures below to see all of the fun!
