Snack Math

"When we serve ourselves." -Sylvie

Talking about quantity and range (maximum to minimum)

Add means: "Add up." Jack
"It also means you can add some things." -Audrey

"Then we serve ourselves and then take, then say the maximum. You can get lower than the maximum or the maximum, and you pass the bowl around so each person can get as much as they want. So they can go up to the maximum." -Lochie
"And if one of teachers says like you can get three apples, and you don't want apples then you just pass it to another person. Or another person wants two apples..." -Reed

Rat Dental Office Calls for Knowing More About Rat Teeth

"Gnawing, that means chewing. They use their incisors for gnawing, and gnawing helps them get out of their holes or something in the way of their holes." -Lochie

We brought out some of the collected animal bones we have here at St. Johns to provide a tangible experience for which to compare to our photographs of rat teeth and their overall dentition. Some rat teeth facts: They have sixteen teeth. Four front incisors. The bottom incisors are usually double the length of the top two incisors. The remaining twelve teeth are molars, (also called "cheek teeth"). The word rodent stems from the latin word rodere meaning to gnaw. Healthy rat teeth are yellow unlike the case for human teeth!
