Lesson Plan

Brush Basics Outline

Students will learn the steps of proper tooth brushing through peer modeling and a fun two-minute timer challenge, then track their brushing habits twice daily to build healthy routines.

Establishing good brushing habits prevents cavities, promotes oral health, and builds lifelong self-care skills in first-graders.
