Health & Hygiene

Opening Activity: Stacking Pegs
Construction toys have long been said to help improve fine motor skills in children, so if you sit your little ones love Legos, let them enjoy them!


Today we talked about the letter "H"
Our unit this week is focused on HEALTH & HYGIENE
We talked about brushing our teeth & washing our hands and what happens when we don't do those things. Then we had an activity to help the children understand WHAT they are doing when they brush their teeth.
We drew a big tooth on the whiteboard & each child took a turn BRUSHING off the "DIRT" on the tooth, making it clean & white!

We did the same activity with "DIRT" on our hands & then they got to wipe off the dirt!

Then we WASHED our hands & got all ready for SNACK!
