Parents, read this to your child:  "Mother elephants have small tusks.  Father elephants have much larger tusks.  The father's tusks can weigh as much as 200-300 pounds, and they are taller than a grown man.  Tusks are made of ivory.  They are really two teeth that have grown very long.  The elephant uses them to protect himself or to dig.  The elephant also has other teeth inside his mouth.  They are for eating food.  These teeth inside his mouth can be a foot long.  Each tooth weighs from 8 to 10 pounds.  the elephant wears his teeth down.  When this happens, the old teeth drop out and a new set comes in.  This can happen as many as 6 times.  How many sets of teeth does God give us?  The elephant has heavy, round legs to hold up his huge body.  The bottom of his feet are cushioned.  This makes him more comfortable as he walks, because he is so heavy."

Do questions pg 68.  Write the answers in your book.

Write 3 jobs than an elephant uses his trunk for and turn in on Friday.
