Health Education:
Literacy:
This lesson is designed to be engaging and age-appropriate for younger children. The story of Timmy and his adventure helps make dental hygiene fun rather than a chore. Consider sending a note home to parents prior to this lesson to inform them of the dental health focus and encourage reinforcement at home.
If any students share anxieties about visiting the dentist, use this as an opportunity to discuss how dentists help keep our teeth healthy, just like the tooth kingdom characters in the story.
