February is National Children’s Dental Health month. Do you need Dental Health Activities For Little Learners that are intentional yet fun and purposeful? Here are a few favorites that your little learners will love!!
As Pre-K, Kinder and 1st Grade teachers, we are always looking for ways to incorporate fun and meaningful activities that coordinate with the topics and themes that occur during the school year. Dental Health is one such topic. The following is a compilation of activities that are fun, engaging, and yet are purposeful and intentional for your little learners.
Books
Books are always a great way to introduce any new subject and your students love to read and be read to. These are a few of the great books that are perfect for this monthly topic and to keep in your class library. Your little learners will enjoy having books available that coordinate with the theme, and therefore they are more likely to return to them over and over.
Visit my Amazon store to find additional books and products for the Dental theme.
Literacy
CVC Word Word hands-on activity is perfect for your word work station or sensory table/bin. In addition to the 18 CVC cards, 3 coordinating recording/response sheets are included for cvc word practice.
