Teeth, January 26th and 27th, 2011


Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.

Book: Clarabella’s Teeth by An Vrombaut.

Poem: The Crocodile’s Toothache, from the Shel Silverstein book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. We made a cardboard crocodile, which can be used on the flannel board along with a puppet to tell this poem.

Book: The Crocodile and the Dentist by Taro Gomi.

Song: Brush Your Teeth, from the Raffi cd, Singable Songs for the Very Young.

Book: Nice Try, Tooth Fairy by Mary W. Olson; illustrated by Katherine Tillotson. We made teeth for each of the animals and used puppets, the magnetic chalkboard, and the book to tell this story.

Song: Are Your Teeth . . .? sung to the tune of, Do Your Ears Hang Low? We did this song as a freeze song so every time we got to a picture of a tooth on the paper, we stopped singing and immediately froze.

Story: A Wiggly, Jiggly, Joggly Tooth by Bill Hawley; illustrated by William Joyce. Since this book is really small, we had the pictures scanned and printed out much larger.

Puppet Show: The Bear’s Toothache by David McPhail. We performed this story as a puppet show. It was delightful!
