Did You Know?

By: Maya D. & Chloe P.

We are learning about Expository Text Features. We read a book called, Bend and Stretch. The author was Pamela Hill Nettleton. From this story we learned that you and a giraffe have the same number of neck bones. The giraffe’s are just bigger than yours. We were surprised by some of the things that we found out. Take a look at what we learned:

• Did you know that around 25 all of your bones will be hard and then you stop growing?
• Did you know that the outside of your bones are smooth?
• Did you know that your smallest bone is behind your eardrum?
• Did you know that the muscles stretch and shrink at the joint?
• Did you know that you have more than 630 muscles?

We also learned that some muscles work on their own like your heart. You use more than 30 muscles when you smile. We were really surprised to find out that your eye muscles move more than 100,000 times each day so it is the hardest working muscle. We wanted to test people like our family to see if they knew what the hardest working muscle was. We were happy that we knew something that many of our family didn’t. Check out our results.
