Miss Pauling and Mrs. Seibert traded in their students for dentists! Together they wrapped up dental health month by integrating dental health into math and reading! The kiddos erased cavities and removed teeth in math. They read about and recreated the parts of the tooth. They also had an egg experiment. This experiment showed how some of our favorite drinks may stain our teeth over time if we don't take care of them. Such a fun day!
2nd grade Afternoon Adventure flew kites and learned how to work with the wind!
