Today was kind of a review day in Math, so after Babe finished her worksheets, we all participated in M&M Math! I gave each kid a bowl of mini-M&Ms and had them sort out the colors.
When all the M&Ms were sorted, I had Bubs count them while Babe wrote down the notes.
With those notes, Babe started on her graph and I had a color activity for Bubs and Z. They both completed it perfectly!!!
After Math, we discussed our very last community helper of the month - dentists! While all the kids do visit the dentist regularly, it was still a big deal to them to look at picture books and learn about what dentists do, so I went along with it. We read the book and then did our craft. Doing what dentists do best - cleaning teeth!
I first had each of them grab the toothbrush out of their sensory tubs.
Then I gave them each a tooth cut out and had them "brush" the tooth with white paint to clean it up! They all really liked this one.
After craft, it was time for clean-up, outside play, then lunch.
After lunch, Babe completed her online lesson in typing letters U-Z. She completed the alphabet! Woohoo!
She was begging me all day to tell her where our field trip after nap was going to be but I wouldn't tell her. I did tell that that I would prepare a snack for the car ride and the snack would be a hint. So while she watched PBS Kids after lessons, I prepared the snack. Think she figured out where our field trip was to?
That's right! We were headed to a dentist office. Z's mom actually works at one, so we went at the end of the day because we had the run of the place...again! They got to look at molds, mouth X-Rays, ride on the chair, feel a dried filling, look at where all the tools are cleaned, and use the water sprayer! They had a great time.
This week concludes our discussions on community helpers! We finish January with Martin Luther King Jr!
Enjoy the photos!
