Snow, cold, ice, and hurricanes have put a bit of a damper on this year's scheduling of 4 winds. Kudos to our parents volunteers for being so flexible and patient! Melissa and Royce joined us this morning to teach us about animals' skull and teeth. We looked closely at animal skulls and learned about the function of different types of teeth. Students learned how incisors, canines, and molars grasp, hold, or chew different kinds of food and how this helps them to survive. After a puppet show, the class explored a variety of animal's skulls and predicted what kinds of food particular animals may eat, based on the type of teeth it had. After creating our own skulls, the children nibbled on a variety of snacks and determined which of their teeth helped them chew that particular food. INQUIRE with your child what kind of teeth they have and how they are useful to them.
