Benefits And Writings On Manipulatives In The Classroom

As a nurse in a skilled nursing facility, oral hygiene care is very important, but the importance significantly increases when our patients are functionally dependent or cognitively impaired. These patients are unable to perform this task and depend on nurses to provide daily care. Nurses need to pay close attention for potential problems. They will need to perform assessments, develop oral care plans, and identify preventions and strategies to eliminate any potential problems. Poor oral health has been linked to serious systemic illnesses including diabetes mellitus, stroke, hypertension, myocardial infarction and aspiration pneumonia (Dyck et al., 2012). Patients who suffer from a lack of oral care can have a dramatic impact to their

My projects for the year included Leadership, Market Beef, Visual Arts and Crafts, Photography, Woodworking, Shooting Sports — Air Rifle and BB gun, Girls Buymanship, Clothing Construction, and Foods & Nutrition. I enjoy

My project was to help the community through a hospital by supplying them with raised garden beds

A Report of the Surgeon General stated that minority and low-income children in the United States experience poorer oral health and poorer access to dental health care services than do their majority and higher-income peers (Oral Health in America, 2000). Two major factors that determine access to dental care are the limited supply of both dentists and public financing for underserved populations (Mertz, 2002). ). Dental disease like tooth decay not only affects children’s overall health; it has other ramifications, including children’s hours lost from school, deteriorating school performance and behavior, and in extreme cases, serious disability and even death.

The effectiveness of preventive education is moderated by the patient's beliefs and cultural and social norms. In my home country, in the villages, it is the custom that people expect to lose their teeth by the time they are old, so it takes a lot of persuasion to get them to believe they can keep their teeth if they take care of them. Understanding different cultures increases the dental hygienist's competency and trustworthiness. It is worthwhile being part of the diversity class. Thus, during the time I study in the dental hygiene program I will have a chance to learn more about cultural differences in order to improve my communication

This paper is a summary of two articles, Practical Oral Care for People with Autism and Practical Oral Care for People with Down syndrome. They talked about separately in this paper. First talked about was Autistic and how oral care is important for them to maintain. Though when being the health care provider you need to be educated on how to interact with this patient because you use different techniques than a regular patient. The Down syndrome patient is other techniques that a health care provider should be aware of. And for both of these patients you will learn strategies when it comes to examining or assessing these types of patient’s oral care. Oral care is important for every patient frankly because it is a place bacteria like to live. It will be our duty to teach our patients and these two articles that was used in the paper should help prepare you for the moment.

The outcome of my project was 106 soccer balls. Although, the grandiose outcome for me is giving these balls to people who could receive joy and benefit from them. To develop to the point of reaching an outcome, I needed to execute the plan that I created. I constructed an informational flyer and handed it out to as many people as I could. This impacted the social skills I used during my project, because this was one of the vital parts. With the flyer in hand, I had to actually "talk" to people! This forced me to communicate personally with my community and helped me further develop personal social skills. Once I got the word out, I had a collection day/drive. I had one vast contributor who gave me soccer balls, which helped me a lot. Before

Dental Hygiene is very important to me and has been since I was a child, this has influenced my desire of becoming a pediatric dentist. In a personal interview i conducted with Dr.Bills she informed me of this, “Dental Hygiene is emphasized by all dentists, we want our patients to have elegant white teeth and pleasant breath”(Bills). I would like to teach children the importance of keeping their teeth brushed so that they will have a beautiful smile and healthy teeth. Pediatric Dentistry is a superb fit for me because I care about dental health and I want children to know the importance as well. It is never too early for children to learn how important dental hygiene is.

One project that is very enjoyable and can be done by people of just about any age is building small plastic model cars. It does not take a lot of skill to build one of these model cars but the more effort that a person is willing to put into the project the better the end result can be. The first model will probably not turn out as hoped for or expect, but with a little patience and some practice the ending results should become better and better. The building of a model car can give a person feelings of great accomplishment, which can help build up their self-esteem.

One of the best projects that we did this year has to be writing our own fairytale books with Mrs. Smith. My story was Barbie White and the Seven Hairdresser. After everyone drew and colored their pictures, we put a cover and sewed the books together. With all that finished, Mrs. Smith was glad the sewing and gluing was done, we went into groups to make one book into a play. My group did the play Cinderfella, Riley, Maria, Alison, Branden, Hayden, Billy and I. It took us weeks to finish writing the script and to memorize the parts. The first time we got on stage was hard because Mrs. Smith kept telling us to slow down or to talk louder, going on stage was harder than I though. After we were on stage we had to make props and bring them in.

Lesson Plan 9 was spilt up into 3 different stations each one using different manipulatives with this we were able to engage our students in both practices 2 & 3. The main practice that was focused on throughout this lesson plan was practice 2 or developing and using models. Now how were these 2 practices structured to help students engage in these practices is by as I said before the use of manipulatives even if practice 2 was a practice to focus on using manipulatives in any lesson plan is a solid way to engage your students. For example, in station 3 which was my station the manipulative I used was pink lemonade, and because we used manipulative, but more than anything else because it was food this really engaged the student in this lesson plan mainly because at the end of the lesson they wanted the lemonade.

Dental health is important for all children, since oral health is vital to overall health. Special needs children may have issues with the mechanics of eating such as chewing or swallowing or with the sensory experiences of eating like textures and temperatures. If your child has problems with having his or her teeth or mouth touched it will be helpful to start desensitizing early. Begin as gently as possible, maybe by just touching the lips with something soft. Gradually increase the pressure as it is tolerated. Once the mouth is actually open you can start working on touching the teeth, little by little. Infant toothbrushes that slip on your finger can help. If your child has a therapist you can work on this goal together. Brushing your

We did some very fun things in science class. On the third day of school, we did a challenge with our table group where we had to use strings to open, close, and control a rubber band to stack the cups in a triangle shape. Only one group was successful so far. We also did a pink string project where we had two people each with a string tied around both wrists were they strings were interlocked. When it was set up, we had to find a way to get the two stings unstuck without taking them off our wrists. Even though none of us figured it out, (without the internet) it was my favorite project. The final team puzzle project was saving Sammy. Sammy the gummy worm was on top of a cup with a life saver underneath and we had to put him in the life saver

Although considered preventable, 53.6% of Medicaid eligible kindergarteners studied in California had a history of dental caries and 27.8 % had decay present at the time of the screening (Dental Health Foundation, 2006). Teaching young children effective oral hygiene techniques is the most effective way to protect the child’s teeth and help them to develop a daily oral wellness routine ("Dental Health," 2015). By focusing on those most in need, Medicaid eligible preschool aged children, teaching and reinforcing effective oral hygiene strategies early in life will foster a lifelong habit of oral health wellness (Gardner, Lally, & Wardle, 2012).

The second project we were assigned that year and that I enjoyed was to research two authors from the 1800s or so, in collaboration with a partner that we got assigned to. For the first author we had the option to either create a power point presentation or create our own website about that particular author. My partner and I choose to build our
