We will:
Trace and cut a large yellow tooth, and paint it white with a toothbrush.
Conduct an experiment to discover what happens to eggs soaked in coke and vinegar. We will predict outcomes and discuss ways an eggshell is the same as our teeth and how it is different.
Discuss having 20 baby teeth that we lose before adult teeth grow. Then we will roll dice to remove a number of teeth (marshmallows) from a pretend mouth.
Write about how we take care of our teeth.
Create a collage of healthy and unhealthy foods.
Take pictures of student smiles and guess who it belongs to.
Read books and view videos about Dental Health.

Little Leaders
At Glasgow Preschool Academy, we are looking forward to when our littlest Scotties go to Kindergarten. South Green Elementary and Highland Elementary are both Leader in Me schools, so we are beginning to teach our preschoolers about the traits of leadership that they will need in elementary school.
In preschool, this week, we are learning to set goals. This means we planning ahead to do the right things in class and accomplish what we want to do. We are learning a little song to help remember how to be begin with the end in mind:
Begin with the End in Mind
(to the tune of Hi-Ho the Derry-O)
Begin with the end in mind,
Plan ahead and set some goals,
Begin with the end in mind.
