Health and Safety

This week at The Academy of Gateway our weekly focus is Health and Safety. Its has been all about the different ways to be safe in day to day operations. We have had a few visitors come see us and give us some friendly tips on keeping safe. The children have had a blast on the tips they have recieved from our special guests. All week they have had different activities to show what they have learned. When teaching kids tips on how to be safe at home, make sure you are asking open ended questions that encourage back and forth conversation.

Our AOG kids learned all about the electric truck and where electricity comes from.

The Postal Worker told us all about what to do if we see a mail truck at their house.

The kids loved learning about how a plane works and all the different parts of a plane.

Your Child's Dental Health

It's the first week of October and fall fun is upon us. You simply cannot avoid all of the sweet treats fall brings and who would want to! There is a way to keep your child's teeth healthy despite all the sugar. Here are some helpful healthy tips.

•  Chew sugar free gum. It's a great way to feel like your enjoying a tree without the guilt.
•  Choose chocolate. Chocolate is easier to clean off of teeth because it melts away.
• Avoid hard candy and sticky candy. These cause the most damage to teeth. If they do consume these make sure they drink plenty of water and brush as soon as possible.
• After a few days of Trick or Treat fun have the "Switch Witch" come and swap out the candy for non edible goodies or cash.

Here at The Academy of Gateway we have been talking about our teeth and the importance of keeping our teeth clean. Here the kids are painting their "teeth" clean.
