Dinosaurs Roar!


DinosaursRef The children certainly were “digging the dinosaurs” Monday at our first after-school program.

Five children attended. We read one dinosaur book that discussed the names of dinosaurs. We all agreed that some of the names are very difficult to pronounce! We also talked about how scientists learn about dinosaurs and how  they sometimes make mistakes. Be sure to ask your child about the iguanodon's “nose”!  We also discussed how fossils are made.

The children decorated their dinosaur research folders, chose a dinosaur to research, and examined all the packets in their folders. We already have a plan for next week and the children seemed very excited!

I am really looking forward to working with this group. They are interested in the topic and very enthusiastic. I can't wait for us to make fossils of our very own!
