Sad Cavity

I used this as a transition activity and later put in centers to play.

In journals, we made our own toothpaste trails.

We made rectangles and added a line to

make toothbrushes in journals. 

I have frog challenges.

Then when my students try out the center, we write their names

on the sheets. I draw simple pictures on them with a name.

So instead of calling these tracing lines, 

I call them toothpaste trails lol

Inside the center bin.

We erase with a toothbrush.

I used those sparkly pom-poms because I think they look like cavities lol

I added a pail to hold the teeth.

Children will place the number of teeth on the game boards.

These are playdough heads.

The guy was my son when he was younger, it was 

his toy. He called it Randy, his dad's name.

Now we also call it Randy.

Teeth Math Game

Dough again.  Roll dough into a ball. 

Roll the number cube, cover the number with the dough ball 

and place it on a tooth. 

When I taught kindergarten, my students

lost teeth. I bought these teeth necklaces 

to store in the tooth in.

Well now my class isn't losing any teeth, 

so, I took off the necklace part,

and I added some in our ten frame game boards below. 

Children will place the number of teeth on the game boards.
