Kristi's preschool class did a Dental/Healthy Teeth Study. We expanded our language by learning new words like plaque, cavity and hygienist. We learned about what things are good or bad for our teeth and that brushing our teeth for 2 minutes, 2 times a day keep our teeth healthy. We had a Dental Office dramatic play area where we pretended to be the dentist, hygienist, or patient. We finished our study with a real dental hygienist visiting our morning and afternoon sessions.
Today, our freshmen participated in the annual Reality Fair, an interactive event designed to help students practice budgeting and managing expenses based on their anticipated future salaries.
The purpose of this event is to encourage students to thoughtfully consider the lifestyle they envision for themselves and evaluate whether it aligns with their desired career choice.
We were fortunate to have seventeen community members generously volunteer their time to share their knowledge and real-world experiences, providing valuable insight and guidance to our students.
