How do live lessons work?

Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.

How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?

Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.

This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.

Can I show videos in live classes?

Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.

Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.

The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.

How do bookmarks work?

Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.

You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.

You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.

You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

In-Class Activities

Mouth Mirror: Use a mirror to look inside their mouths. Draw a detailed picture of their teeth, tongue, and gums.
Make a Cardboard Tooth Necklace: Children will have 20 baby (primary) teeth and then 32 as an adult. Make a tooth drawing on cardboard (2X2 inches) and use this for a template. Invite the children to trace around this template making 20 teeth using colored construction paper and cut out the shapes. Thread a child’s plastic, large eye needle with dental floss or tape the floss to a toothpick. Show the kids how to push the needle through the paper tooth and slide the shape along the floss. String the teeth into a necklace. Secure the ends with a knot. Pieces of a plastic straw can be used as spacers if you wish. Ask the children if they know why we use dental floss on our teeth.
