Yesterday Annie and I made our way into the fifth and sixth grade classrooms and explained the process. Our diagram divides the mouth into 18 parts, and the students spend 10 seconds brushing each part. They were very excited to get their cups and toothbrushes, and several students sprinted back from lunch today to get started
Here is a photo update of the process so far. More to come!

Me: What section (of the teeth) are you on?
Allen: Number 1
Zach: I'm on Number 3 (demonstrates beautiful circular technique)

Me: Has everyone brushed their teeth?
Kids: YEEEAAAAHH!
Me: Miss Annie, has everyone brushed their teeth?
Annie: YEEE-- No. No, they haven't.
Oh God, I see Tom.
