We are learning about our community and the places and workers that are important in our community. During our discussion yesterday the children made a list of places they like to go in the community. Our list included: School, grandma's house, park, Golden Corral, zoo, and the swimming pool. It was very cute to listen to hear what places they find important in their neighborhood. We also talked about the workers that work in the community. They decided the most important workers are garbage man, doctor, our principle, our security guard, and their grandma. (If you haven't noticed the answer "grandma" is very common!)
When we started talking about the dentist we discovered we have 3 students who have never been to the dentist. Many of our children have cavities already :( When we asked them when they should brush their teeth we got "before you leave the house to go to the park or to school" "before you go to grandmas" "when you eat". It took probably seven answers before we got to "every morning and night!!" My teacher made them raise their right hand and repeat "Mrs. ** I promise to brush my teeth every morning before school and every night before bed". They laughed when she said she didn’t like having stinky breath coming towards her at her reading table.
It seems silly to go over what a doctor and a dentist do but it is important for them to learn about personal hygiene!! It is very obvious who got a bath last night and who didnt... sometimes I have realllly stinky kids!
