Mommy Camp: Health Week

7/13/2015

2 Comments

 
We had a crazy, busy week! It was so busy that we had to roll into the next week to finish up our lessons. We not only did mommy camp stuff but we also went to the waterpark again with friends and had a yard sale after cleaning out all of the closets, cabinets and rooms in the house. It feels great to have a clutter free home but I am exhausted. Of course, we did make $700 bucks and Lilly made $21 at her coffee and donut stand. (Look familiar? We changed out the signs on the DIY Doctor's Office.) So that made it worthwhile.

Our first day was all about the body, for day two we focused on the food pyramid. Lilly worked on identifying the food groups with some easy worksheets and then practiced a little reading, cutting, pasting and grouping skills with another worksheet. We discussed how it's important to have a colorful plate and practiced reading colors and then drew her own "healthy plate" with food from each food group.

Day three focused on dental health. We started out with some fun with toothpaste! I gave them both a tube of dollar store toothpaste to enjoy squeezing into a bowl. The idea was to play a little more but Arthur decided eating it was a better idea so we had to scrap that idea. Instead, we made toothpaste slime using the same recipe as our space slime but substituted clear elmer's glue and neon blue food coloring instead of purple glitter glue. Lilly played with it for over an hour! She LOVES the stuff! We attempted elephant toothpaste as our science experiment but it was an utter fail. I followed the directions exactly right and nothing happened. It was pretty lame. We also completed a tooth brushing sequencing worksheet and a greater or less than worksheet with teeth and toothpaste.

Then we conducted an experiment using eggs to discuss how our teeth are effected by the different things we eat and drink. Lilly thought it was pretty neat and really enjoyed brushing the eggs afterwards.
Healthy Teeth Experiment
Materials:
- three eggs (we only had brown ones but white would have been better)
- one cup filled with milk
- one cup filled with water
- one cup filled with a dark soda
- free experiment printable
Directions:
1. Place one egg in each of the cups and let sit for a bit. (I think ours sat about 20 minutes.)
2. Hypothesize as to what will happen to each egg.
3. Remove the eggs and analyze the results. See if they match your hypothesis. 
4. Clean the eggs using a toothbrush and toothpaste.

The cup in the milk had a milky appearance because it was a brown egg. The egg in the soda was stained and brushing did not remove all of the stain. The egg in water was unchanged.

Day four we focused on germs and doctors. I had a lot more activities planned than we actually accomplished but we did manage to do a few of the things in between cleaning out closets and playing at the water park. Lilly completed an interactive counting reader that used paper bandaids that you cut and glue on each page to match the number in the sentence. Lilly also had fun taking down some germs with the felt board and a nerf gun. For lunch she had a germ sandwich. (I was kind of lazy with the Mommy special... sprinkles are fun though!)

Day five was supposed to focus on exercise. We didn't do much with it. We talked about why exercise is good and important. Then we had fun with counting and balance. I would tell her different things to do and we would count to see how long she could hold her balance. She thought it was great and it took very little effort from me which was awesome. 

Here are a few things I asked her to do:
- balance on one foot
- balance on one foot and one hand
- balance on only your bootie with your hands and feet in the air
- balance on both feet and hands with your bootie in the air

You could also have them act/walk like different animals. I had planned to make an obstacle course using streamers and tape in our hallway but it just didn't happen. We did manage to read another mini-reader together about our body so that was good.

That's a wrap on health week! Tomorrow we begin weather week and I'm pretty excited about all of the fun stuff I have planned!

There are many considerations when you’re looking for the right dentist, the compatibility, friendly staff, and even a friendly environment. As for me, the dentist I preferred is friendly because I believe that the friendly the dentist the more comfortable you are when you visit them.
