My Students

My children are three, four, and five years old. They love school for the most part. Some of them have special needs and some are from poverty-stricken families. Most of them are very outgoing. We are back in school now and are trying to make each of our students feel safe.

My Project

A healthy mouth is very important and the earlier a child starts to take care of their teeth the better. I want my babies to succeed in life and not have to worry about their health. I will demonstrate every morning how they are to brush their teeth the right way so when they take their tooth brushes home they will know the correct way to brush. Children with bad teeth are often times bullied by other children and this causes them to have low self esteem. I want them to learn at a young age how to take care of their mouth so they don't have a future of low self esteem and health problems. A healthy mouth is the beginning of a healthy body.
