1.PCH.2.1 Illustrate symptoms of sickness and measures for getting well. Germs are found everywhere all over the world. Even though they are very tiny, they can cause big problems when they invade the body. There is a difference between symptoms of common cold or stomach virus and more serious symptoms such as fevers and soreness of strep throat. Sometimes staying at home with extra rest will be enough to get better (cold and stomach virus), other times it is important to go to the doctor for medicine in order to get better. With some serious illnesses, a child might have to stay in the hospital for a while to get better. With all sickness it is best to rest, get plenty of fluids, treat the symptoms, and listen to the health care professionals.

1.PCH.2.2 Summarize the transition between primary and permanent teeth and steps for seeking help for dental problemsEveryone has two sets of teeth: primary and permanent. The first set grows in when they are babies and can be called baby teeth or primary teeth. It is normal for first graders to start losing these teeth so the second (permanent) set of teeth can grow. Permanent means long lasting. Permanent teeth are bigger and stronger because they need to last for the rest of one’s life. For a while a child will have a combination of primary teeth and baby teeth. Children will lose baby teeth between ages of 6 and 13. Permanent teeth fill in from ages 6 to 22 with wisdom teeth coming in last. Sometimes children can have problems with their teeth. Cavities, an injury, or crowded teeth, if preset, could require a visit to a dentist.
