Help My Preschoolers Learn How to Care for Their Teeth!

Help me give my students an opportunity to build a Dental Practice in our classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Atkins's classroom raised $436

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of my preschoolers had their teeth examined and clean. Their reports all indicated that my student's teeth are not being cleaned properly. We are a STEM school and we want to build a Pretend Dental office in our classroom. Since they are so scared to see the dentist, they will take their Barbie with them as part of their (SEL) Social, Emotional, Learning to help comfort them.

Please help my preschoolers build a pretend Dental Office in our classroom, in order to get ready to see the dentist!

We will make our housekeeping center, our new Dental Office, so kids can dress up like dentists, practice brushing Barbie and their teeth; so when they have to see their dentist they won't be scared.

Students will be able to brush their teeth in our classroom, to promote daily brushing.

All of my students need to see the dentist, and I want them to even think about choosing a career in dentistry.

Thank you for your support!
