Lots of words begin with the letter "D" the children had fun making the "D" sound. However the real fun got started when we started talking about Dinosaurs. We read the book, "Patrick's Dinosaurs" Patrick has an over imagination and while visiting the city zoo, imagine dinosaurs there. We compared the different types of dinosaurs. We sorted them into sizes, colors, plant eaters, or meat eaters. Our fun craft was sponging a triceratops to make it's skin look rough, then gluing on noodles for it's horns and claws. For our snack we followed a step by step recipe, and made banana and cereal Stegosaurus dinosaurs. We got out our scary dino sillies out by doing the "Dino Dance" (hokey pokey). We roared, growled, and stomped around.The older class did a floor size Dinosaur puzzle. I'm so pleased to see how fast they could put this together. Each did a section, and they all recognized each others section and worked together putting it together. After our puzzle, we made "Dino Dinner" (no bake cookies) I changed the name of the ingredients to be dirt, crushed bones, swamp water ect. Olivia said she didn't like oatmeal, Braden assured her that it wasn't oatmeal, it was dead grass. She seemed to accept that, and I just laughed.
