Dinosaur Monday

Today we started our Dinosaur week. We learned a little about how a fossil is made and how paleontologist dig them up very carefully. We watched a video of paleontologist using brushes to carefully uncover a dinosaur skeleton. At center time we uncovered dinosaur bones in our water table and then matched them onto a dinosaur skeleton. (yes that is supposed to be an apatosaurus- I am neither an artist or a sculptor)


This is our alphabet matching game. We matched upper to lowercase letters.
In this center we sorted dinosaurs into the right color swamp.
Here we got to hold real fossils of an ammonite, a trilobite, and also some dinosaur Poop.....
Here is an apology in advance..... Coming up the end of this month we will be holding parent teacher conferences. In preparation for these we are conducting our yearly assessments. We are holding movie nap every day this week so we can get these done. So if your child is more grumpy because they don't nap this week we are really sorry and don't worry things should be back to normal by next week.

Also coming up Friday April 2 will be our class Easter Party and Egg Hunt. We ask the parents to donate plastic eggs and candy to fill them for the hunt. The more you donate the more fun it will be for our class..... Anything you can contribute will be great!!

Lots of fun things coming up this month keep your eyes on the white board and here so your child will not be left out of the fun.
