Paleontologists in the Making!

What an exciting week we had being paleontologists last week.  


We had fun looking for dinosaurs, fossils, and bones throughout the school while we worked on expanding our dinosaur vocabulary and visual matching skills.  

We used paint to discover dinosaur fossils on paper!

We hatched dinosaur babies out of frozen eggs.  The students had to figure out how to get the dinosaurs out of the eggs.  They used a combination of salt, water, hammers, and smashing the eggs to free the babies!  This project was so exciting that we have saved eggs for all of the students that were absent so they can have a chance to hatch a baby dinosaur next week.

In The Gym

This week we worked on ball skills in the gym.  I set up stations for the students to rotate through that helped them to work on bouncing, throwing, and catching balls.  We used different sizes of balls, and worked on throwing both over and under hand.  

How Do Dinosaurs Stay Friends?

We read the book "How Do Dinosaurs Stay Friends" by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague.  This open some great discussions around how to treat your friends.  

Last week we read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and began to touch on the big concept of telling the truth.  

Coming Up

It's about to get wild in PreK... Next week we will begin our Zoo theme!

I will be sending home a form this week for you to fill out regarding your plans for the upcoming school year (staying in PreK, moving to kindergarten, etc.).  This form is important for our school so that we can begin to project numbers and start planning for the fall.  Please fill this form out and send it back to school by March 10th.
