"Dd" is for Dinosaurs!


For each letter of the day, the children may bring something that starts with that letter, to school to "Show and Tell". Today we had many stuffed Dogs, and pet shoppe Dogs to show. Also we got Dinosaurs, and even a "Darth Vader".

Our puppet was a "Duck" and we sang "5 Little Ducks" with our finished puppets.

Dinosaur, Dinosaur, Dinosaurs!

Dinosaur Day is always a fun day. Fascinating to think that these large, huge, gigantic animals lived long, long, long, long, time ago. We looked at pictures, and read books about dinosaurs. We discovered how big they actually were, what they ate, and the different types. We found out how they died, and how their bones were found and put back together like a puzzle.
We painted a volcano, and glued different dinosaurs around the volcano. We also did a dinosaur puzzle, kinda like finding bones, and putting the dinosaur together.
For snack, we made a stegosauruses out of a banana, chex cereal, and chocolate chips.
We played the "Dinosaur Dance" which was a lot like the "Hokey Pokey"
