Analysis & Reflection At the beginning of this lesson, I got pretty nervous because the students were very fidgety. The animated video on teeth really helped me bring back their attention. During the discussion about the video, students pointed out some important facts they learned from the video. While some students breezed through the picture bank activity, others took their time coloring and decorating the tooth. Those students that were finished early moved onto the writing extension. After examining their work, all of the students were able to distinguish what was good and bad for the teeth. In addition, majority of the students were able to explain in writing why a particular item was healthy for the teeth. One to two students struggled with the writing extension because they were able to tell me what item was healthy but they didn't really explain why it was healthy.

If I were to reteach this lesson, I think I would have given out directions for the "Toothbrushing Checklist" along with the other activities. Also, the students could have been fidgety due to the time of day so I would do a quick movement activity or stretch before we begin the lesson.
