Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I want to teach my students the proper way to brush and floss so they learn early the importance of good dental hygiene. I plan to send dental hygiene supplies home, along with a note to parents explaining the importance of creating good dental hygiene habits at an early age.

One of our focuses in Kindergarten is to develop good personal habits that will help our students stay healthy.

My students will receive full sizes of toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, and toothbrushes. This will ensure that they have a fresh start, as some have never brushed their teeth at home. Some may not be able to afford these items and this will be a big blessing to them.

We also need a model mouth to teach the students how to properly brush their teeth.

Thank you for your support!
