Shadows and Dental Health Month

This month is Dental Health Month. Today we read Trevor's Wiggly Wobbly Tooth by Lester Laminack. Its about a kid named Trevor who has a real time losing his first tooth and joining the Missing Tooth Club in his class. After we read the book we looked at how many of us had "missing tooth smiles" and talked about what the tooth fairy does with our teeth when she gets them.

Alex wrote that the Tooth Fairy uses his teeth for the "candy store."

Zamarah wrote that the Tooth Fairy uses her teeth for her treasure chest.

Sumari wrote that the Tooth Fairy uses her teeth for her castle.

Our very own Missing Tooth Club!

We are learning about shadows in our reading unit. We've read several stories and poems about them and today we went outside to trace our shadows on the sidewalk. Hooray for warmer weather!
