ROCKING IN OUR SCHOOL SHOES

We were finally able to open centers and the kids are ecstatic!!!  There are still so many fun activities to introduce, but they are enjoying using toys from the Block Center, Library, and Table Toys!!

A look at the week...

At small groups this week, we sorted dinosaurs my multiple attributes (color and type together), we worked on counting syllables in words using pennies, and we made dinosaur fossils!!

We went outside and measured how big dinosaurs really were!

We made dinosaur skeletons using dry pasta!

We made dinosaurs using paper plates!

Check out our construction worker hats!

Miss Carolyn did a science experiment with us where we made lava lamps!

And...we made a stegosaurus snack using a banana, cereal, and chocolate chips!

All About Dinosaurs!

We drew dinosaurs by watching Mrs. Heather and copying the line she made!  We are practicing for the Animated Alphabet drawings we will do in kindergarten!!

We predicted whether or not we thought our entire class could fit a footprint on a giant dinosaur footprint!  Most of us thought we could!  Then, we tested our theory by tracing everyone's footprint on a dinosaur footprint.  Our guess was right!  The whole class fit and we even had some space left over!!

We also made a volcano with baking soda and vinegar!  So fun!  After we made our volcano, we drew pictures of what we saw!

We also read a story about how scientists CAREFULLY dug up dinosaur bones.  To practice their technique, we used a toothpick to "excavate" candy pieces from cookies!

Coming up next week...dinosaur fossils, observing the ACTUAL size of dinosaurs, lava lamps, a stegosaurus snack, dinosaur skeletons made with pasta, and so much more!
