Sometimes the timing is just perfect!
Shannon came today for a Roots of Empathy lesson. She talked about how babies get teeth and how Grade Ones and Twos lose them. Then she asked the children to draw pictures about losing teeth and write about the feelings that gave them.
After Shannon left, we went on with other work.
Suddenly, Maya called out, "My tooth came out!" And like a magnet, that tooth pulled all the children out of their seats for an inspection. Sure enough, there was a new space in Maya's mouth and a tooth in her hand.
At Gibsons Elementary, children who lose teeth while they are at school get a tooth container from the office so they can take teeth home safely.
