Show the children the "Extra Content" Brushing Teeth video for them to learn how to brush their teeth correctly. Then on a stuffed animal show the child how to properly brush their teeth. Place toothbrush at a slight upward angle on the outside of the back bottom teeth. Make small circular motions on all the bottom teeth, then do the same circular motion on the inside of the bottom teeth. Once done with the bottom teeth move to the top teeth and do the same thing to keep that smile shining.
Next have the children pretend their finger is their toothbrush and have them practice on a stuffed animal.*
Music and Movement: It’s great to have healthy teeth but it’s also great to keep our bodies healthy. Doing exercises is a wonderful way to keep us healthy and happy. So let’s hop on one leg!

Click here to learn about the letter W with Miss Cullen and Gator. First, Miss Cullen and Gator are going to show the upper and lowercase letter W. Then review the sound of the W. Next look at three types of food that start with the letter W: Wheaties, Wheat Thins and Water . If you have these items at home you can try them with Miss Cullen and discuss what it feels like, tastes like, sounds like and smells like.
Remember, when trying the different foods, it has to go in your mouth but it doesn't have to stay there. But it is always good to try something new.

The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37
One day, a lawyer put Jesus to the test. He said, “I know the law says to love God with all my heart and to love my neighbor as myself. But who is my neighbor?”
Jesus told him this parable:
“A man was on his way to the city of Jericho when he was attacked by robbers. They took his clothes, beat him, stole everything he had and went away. The man was hurt. He needed help. Along came a priest. When he saw the man, he passed on the other side of the road. Along came a helper in the temple. He saw the man but did not stop. Along came a Samaritan man. When he saw the hurt man, he stopped. The Samaritan man put bandages on him cleaned up the man’s wounds. He lifted the man onto his own donkey and took him down the road to an inn to care for him. The Samaritan man took care of him all night long,” said Jesus. “In the morning, the Samaritan man gave the innkeeper two silver coins and said, ‘Take good care of him until I return.’” After Jesus finished the story, he asked, “Who was a neighbor to the injured man?” The lawyer answered, “The Samaritan who took care of the hurt man.” Jesus said, “Yes. Be kind, like that man and love your neighbor.”
Bible Story Questions & Answers
Talk about what the Bible story was about by asking the children questions. You can decide ahead of time how you want them to answer the questions. I like to have the children raise their hand to answer the question. If they are incorrect that is fine. You can say what the answer is or ask: “Does anyone else have a thought or answer to the question?”

While sitting on the floor with criss cross legs, have the children re-peat after you. You can have them fold their hands and close their eyes or just sit quietly and say after you. Following is a prayer written out that you can use, or you can make up your own.

Today we are going to paint with a toothbrush on a tooth cut out of construction paper. Pour paint into a bowl or onto a paper plate. Allow your child to dip the toothbrush into the paint. Once they get a coat of paint on their toothbrush; have them now paint with their toothbrush onto the construction paper tooth. If you wanted you could even add a squirt of toothpaste to paint.
