I hope that your kids came home with lots to say about dinosaur week! It is always a favorite amongst us all. During circle time, we talked about the different types of dinosaurs, what they ate, and how there were volcanoes back with the dinosaurs too. We each took a turn creating our own volcanic eruption! The kids got so excited each and every time!
We dug for some dinosaurs bones in the sand table. We talked about how a paleontologist is one who studies fossils. I know that they have already forgotten that big word, but they sure had fun pretending to be one.
And made this dino bone craft.
We also made our own dinosaur fossils!
Our math center this week was a color graphing game. We took turns pulling colored dinosaurs out of our mystery bag, and then filled in a square of that colored column. Which color will win? This was great for color recognition, along with practice in coloring in the lines.
We worked on matching our uppercase letters to our lowercase letters with these alphabet dinosaur puzzles.
And, we searched for the letters of the alphabet that we have learned so far this year in this dinosaur hidden letter picture.
We also had our letter builders out for the uppercase alphabet. We built letters with our straight and curvy lines.
We practiced recognizing our numbers 1-10 by sight with these dinosaur strip puzzles.
And, we had a center full of trees, volcanoes, and DINOSAURS! Let the exploration and imaginations run wild!
What a roaring good time we had this week!!
