Two very exciting things happened today. First, we re-read The Selfish Crocodile, a great book about sharing commons (things and spaces that belong to everyone). This book has a crocodile who has a toothache caused by a broken tooth. Second, Caely brought in a part of a cow jawbone (with teeth!) to share with the class. While looking at the bone in the science center, some children noticed it had a broken tooth. We got out the book to compare it to the picture- and determined that the cow probably had a toothache.
