Dental Health Fun!

We learned that teeth have 3 important jobs.  They are to give us a good smile, to help us talk, and to chew our food.  We also learned that we need to brush our teeth 2 times a day for 2 minutes and we need to see the dentist 2 times a year!  Take a look at our teeth we made!

Sarah's Visit

Today Ms. Sarah came from Cedar County Conservation and taught us about groundhogs and hibernation.  We learned 6 new things.  They are:
1. Groundhogs eat a plant called Sorel.
2. A Marmet, a cousin of the groundhog, does not poop during the winter while they are hibernating.
3. The groundhog’s heart beats 4 times a minute when they are hibernating.
4.  In the summertime, their heart beats 80 times.
5.  Groundhogs get fat during the summer.
6.  When a groundhog sees their shadow, there is 6 more weeks of winter.

Valentine's Day Fun!


We had worked on a book about what we love.  We had a wonderful snack.  We sorted and graphed Valentine Heart Candy.  We listened to two stories from Mrs. Wallick from the Tipton Public Library and we danced to a song with her.  We opened our Valentines and got to have a piece of candy!  We wrote a thank you to the Tipton Public Library...go there and check it out!
