🦷 A Closer Look: Dentist Day in Action! (Sample Activity)

At Luminaries Montessori Academy, our community helpers theme wasn’t just about learning—it was about living the experience! One highlight was Dentist Day, a fun and informative exploration of oral health across different learning areas.

👩‍🔬 Science Time with Teacher Via & Teacher Trixie 

Children began the day with a circle time song, a weather check, and a warm welcome. They were introduced to dentists through engaging pictures and a brushing video. Fast learners practiced brushing with real toothbrushes and dental models, while slow learners got hands-on help using stuffed animals. The session wrapped up with a lively review and a goodbye song.

🧮 Math Magic with Teacher Xaris & Teacher Kiesha 

To keep things fun and foundational, kids chanted while counting to ten and grouped pretend teeth in toy dental models. Fast learners tackled sets of 5 and 10, while others focused on simple subtraction using visuals. Learning math became a tactile and joyful experience!

In Physical Education, children got moving with the “Sugar Bug Chase.” Hopping into hoops to clean imaginary sugar bugs brought smiles and giggles while reinforcing gross motor skills. The activity was thoughtfully adapted for all learners—making sure every child felt successful and involved.
