Last week at Elm Park Preschool we began learning about dinosaurs. The students learned about paleontologists and practiced "field observations" with their paleontologist journals. They also got to excavate dino bones hidden in sand and assemble a dinosaur. We continued the theme making bone prints on paper. We listened to dinosaur music and began learning the names of many dinosaurs. They created dinosaur themes as we discussed plant and meat eaters and learned to distinguish between the two. The students also made fossil prints in a flour/water mixture with toy dinosaurs. The kiddos felt a rock in the mystery tin which we compared to our teeth and teeth of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The letter for the week was r, the new shape for the month is oval and the colors are purple and green. The number this week is 6.
Below are pictures of our dinosaur excavation teams.
