I labeled their cups so that they would be able to use the same toothbrush everyday. I did not count on them switching toothbrushes. After hearing the story that people where switching toothbrushes more than three times from three different students, I had to assume that the story was true. I swung into action. Quickly I labeled each of the toothbrushes with the students names. Crisis averted.
The toothpaste is in little travel sized tubes and I have caught students poking through other students cups to grab the fuller tubes. The poor kid was reprimanded for his poor choice and I pointed out to him that I replace all the tubes at the same time so they are all filled about them same. It is a good thing they have the little kid toothbrushes, the bristle area is tiny, so they can't fit that much toothpaste on them.
Interesting foible of working in the bush. Toothbrush behavioral expectations.

Hey Jim, Did you ever in your wildest dreams expect to be a toothbrush monitor? It used to be part of elementary ed and always is a pain but kids do need it. Do you have a slow cooker? They are wonderful to start in the morning and come home to dinner. If you'd like one, will send it up as a belated grad gift. Love, Grammy MaryJo
