Dentist

We all had dentist appointments today. 2 hours for the kids and I to get our cleanings and have the dentist take a peek at our teeth. The reason I am talking about our excellent check ups is because M was 100% engaged with what the hygienist was doing. My daughter - not such a good brusher. Lots of tartar build up. The hygienist took a before and after pic of her cleaning so she could see what was going on. Afterwards she demonstrated proper brushing technique on a model. While I was getting my cleaning M asked lots of questions. She was really interested in the tools used. She really learned a lot. B- was not as interested but he does need to go back in a couple of weeks to have a couple of baby teeth pulled. The dentist agreed with the orthodontist that pulling them to help the teeth come in straight rather then wait for them to appear sideways or behind the baby teeth since the roots of the baby teeth do not seem to be inclined to dissolve any time soon.

Today in math B continued to work on adding and subtracting fractions, he did some map work on ancient Assyria, and we learned a bit about the human body and conducted an experiment on how the eye works with a window, white cardboard, and a magnifying glass. M continues with the 8 times table, Ancient Greece, and Comparing Adjectives. She also enjoyed the eye experiment.

All in all a busy day.
