I was just reading the newsletters on their site - the April newsletter says that all elementary classes are intended to be a max of 25 kids. Principal at OH said 110 spots among 5 classes, so maybe even less, but I doubt DOE would let them get away with that. [ Reply | More

pretend to be elmo/other character she likes and brush her teeth for her - or do yours (or "elmo's") with her. let her pick out a special toothbrush and/or toothpaste. tell her to open her mouth big like she's eating an elephant/lion/etc. sing a song (we sing, to the song of row row row your boat "brush brush brush your teeth, brush them twice a day, then healthy and strong your teeth will stay.") or give up for now - ped dentist told me its not that big a deal. good luck.
