ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Awnie's House Book Review and Shout Outs: JUST GOING TO THE DENTIST by Mercer Mayer
Hello, my reading friends! Today, we’re going to talk about a fun book called “Just Going to the Dentist” by Mercer Mayer. It’s all about taking care of our teeth, which is super important!
In the story, Little Critter’s mom says it’s time for him to visit the dentist for a checkup. Little Critter isn’t sure he needs to go, but they go anyway. When they arrive, the nurse gives them a big, friendly smile. They have to wait a little bit before seeing the dentist, so they sit in the waiting room.
There are other kids waiting too. One of them has braces, and Little Critter thinks they look cool! While they wait, there are toys to play with and books to read. What do you think will happen when Little Critter sits in the dentist’s chair? You can find out by reading “Just Going to the Dentist.”
Now, let’s say a big hello to some of our friends from all over the world! Here are some special shout-outs:
Hello to each and every one of you, my good friends around the world! I’m so happy you’re all part of my reading family. I hope you enjoyed learning about the book. See you next time!
Toothbrush Painting: Let’s make art using toothbrushes! Dip a clean toothbrush in some paint and gently brush it onto a piece of paper. Try using different colors to create a beautiful picture. As you paint, think about how brushing your teeth helps keep them clean and healthy. What other things do you use to keep your teeth healthy?
Healthy Teeth Hunt: Go on a hunt around your home or classroom to find items that help keep your teeth healthy. This could be toothpaste, a toothbrush, floss, or even healthy snacks like apples. Once you find them, share with your friends or family why each item is important for dental health. Can you think of any other ways to take care of your teeth?
Role Play a Dentist Visit: With a friend or family member, take turns pretending to be the dentist and the patient. Use a chair as the dentist’s chair and pretend to check each other’s teeth. Talk about what happens during a dentist visit and why it’s important. How does it feel to be the dentist? How does it feel to be the patient?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Mom said it was time for Little Critter to visit the dentist for a checkup. He didn’t think he really needed to go, but they went anyway. When they walked in, the nurse gave them a great big smile. Since the dentist wasn’t ready to see them yet, they took a seat in the waiting room. There were other kids waiting as well; one of them had braces on her teeth, and Little Critter thought they were neat. They had toys to play with and books to read while they waited.
