Tooth Canisters

Lucy DeMaris, a fourth grade bilingual teacher at Palm School in Orosi, California

I save the canisters that film comes in for my students who lose teeth. Yes, middle school students still lose teeth and they always like to share the fact. I make a big deal about the event and present them with the empty canister to take the tooth home. I even go a step further and add a sticker to the outside of the canister with the date that this happened.
