But you do shed bits of skin all the time. Where does that skin go? Why don’t you see it all over your home? It’s okay if you’re not sure. Take a guess. Draw a picture of what you think happens to the bits of skin that you shed.]]> 2020-06-02 19:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/aig5719sqtmdh9hb/wish/607605193
