Full Project Description:
Each first grade class will be assigned to a group when they join the project. The teacher will write an email message introducing his/her class and send this message to each class in the group. The number of classes per group will depend on the number of registrations received.
The teacher will assist the students in keeping an official count of how many teeth are lost. By posting these numbers on a bulletin board graph in the classroom the class can practice graphing skills. This data can be used to do math problems involving teeth as well as providing a springboard for writing. Examples of problems and stories will be shared among the teachers in the groups. Once a month each teacher will send an email message to the other classes in the group stating the official number of lost teeth that month.
