Smile!

I'm smiling because it was a great week, and we learned all about dentist! The students learned all about dental hygiene and how dentist help us keep our teeth healthy. On Monday we read some books about going to the dentist, and then made a fun snack that I'm sure was great for our teeth. Well... maybe except the marshmallows! 

 They're big old apple smiles (if you can't tell)

On Tuesday we got a special treat of having a dental hygienist come in and teach us about keeping our teeth nice and healthy. Each child even got their own toothbrush!

 HUGE thanks to my friend Audrey! She did amazing!

Thursday we learned a little more about our smiles and played a silly game!

This week in phonics we learned all about the letter "e". How to write it, how to say it, and how it sounds in different places in words. Some new sounding out words we learned are net, wet, set, hen, and ten. No new sight words this week, but keep an eye out for some new cards coming home next week! 
Making "e" with pipe cleaners!

In math we are continuing learning more numbers and right an left. We are also working on counting pennies! I might have a bunch a future bankers! All the students also got their height measured. Can't wait to see how much they grow throughout the year!

This week in Bible class we learned all about Abraham! The students learned about how names meant more back then, and how God changed Abraham and Sarah's names. We also talked about trying to please God, even when it's hard. Just like Abraham tried to please God by sacrificing Isaac. 

We had a fun art project this week too, that tied along great with our dentist week. The students dipped dental floss in paint and swirled it all around a piece of paper. We got some beautiful artwork!


Also, just wanted to let everyone know that midterm is here (yes the year is really going that fast)! I will be emailing all parents progress reports. I already emailed a few, and the rest are coming! 

Coming up...
Doctor week! I am SO excited to have my sister who is a nurse come in! I think I've been talking about it with the students for weeks! We will also be learning about germs, hand washing, and exercise! Our new letters will be "b" and "p". Our new sight words will be "orange" and "love".
