MY SECOND GRADE FRIENDS AT EMAFINI


Today I had a great time meeting one of the four second grade classes of students at Emafini Primary School.  Miss Poke and her students greeted me with warm smiles.  We worked on a math least to greatest number activity and then had a  Dental Health read-aloud lesson.  During this lesson we translated the Xhosa  language to English  for key words in the story, and practiced this skill with a matching activity.  It was exciting working with the eager students in  Miss Poke class.  I am looking forward to the continued opportunities to work with the students and teachers at Emafini Primary and  sharing my experiences with my students this year at CFIE.


Students working in small groups on a language translation activity of key 
words in the story, Tanner the Tooth, The ABC's of a Happy Healthy Mouth.  

Dr. Gina Collins Mancini donated copies of Tanner the Tooth,and Tabitha the Tooth
The ABC's of a Healthy Mouth books and dolls.  Dr. Mancini is a family and cosmetic 
dentist in Jacksonville, North Carolina.  Dr. Mancini is the author of the books which promote the importance of eating healthy and taking care of your teeth.
