Community Helpers for Health and Hygeine

There are so many fun community helpers to explore, and this year we ended up focusing mostly on those who help us to take care of our body. Here are a few that we connected with activities in the classroom.

Doctors

Hair dressers or Cosmetologists

Dentists

February was Dental Health Month, so we looked at taking care of our teeth a little more in depth.

Playdough gums and teeth was a favorite activity.

We drew on cavities and germs with dry erase markers, and use toothbrushes and string to clean them off.

Toothbrushing felt board

Toothbrush painting

The Mouth Game 

The afternoon class also had a special parent visitor who talked with us about being a nurse and how we can take care of our bodies every day. It was great!
