Something to Chew On...

In Health, we have been learning about how to take care of our teeth.   We've been reading story books and information books about teeth, and we've watched some good videos as well.

Here is an article that the class wrote about teeth:






We are also making models of our teeth.  Here are a couple of photos of children in the process of making their models:




How many teeth has this girl lost already?
  Count the bottom teeth to figure out the answer.

We also carried out an experiment to answer the question what can pop, like cola, do to our teeth.  Here is the write up of our experiment:


Left:  egg in cola   Right:  egg in water





The eggs we put in the cola became stained after one day.
The egg we put in the water was still white.

We tried brushing the egg with toothpaste, but it was still stained.
The shells of the eggs in cola also appeared to be more fragile.
Several of the eggs cracked easily when we handled them.

Home-School Link:  we'll be sending home a chart for your child to keep track of his/her teeth brushing for a week.   If you have any questions, please contact us.
