This week we stomped into our dinosaurs unit! Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Velociraptors and many more! We sang this song each day and students added in their own silly actions like dance or drive.
Throughout the week students used toy dinosaurs to create footprints in play-doh and paint. Here they made their own footprints! Extra baths needed this week, sorry! (Hehe)

Dinosaur Teeth Necklaces!
Students learned about dinosaurs having different teeth depending on what they eat. Meat eaters might have more pointy teeth while plant eaters might have more rounded teeth. This conversation led us into making our own dinosaur teeth! Students worked together to make play-doh and then formed the play-doh into pointy shaped teeth. Next week we will make our teeth into necklaces for the children to take home. Stay tuned!
Say "NO" to Bullying!

| "It's not cool to be cruel!" |
Wednesday was Pink Shirt Day! We talked about how to be a good friend and what it does to our hearts when someone is not kind. We practiced giving compliments to each other! Kindness counts!
What's your dinosaur name!?
Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus and Tyrannosaurus! This week we noticed that many dinosaurs have names that end "saurus." We talked about what our names might be if we were dinosaurs. Here is Stephensaurus and Angelsaurus!

| Students hand painted dinosaurs - the thumb as the dinos head and the fingers as the dinos legs |
Digging up bones!

| Jia the Paleontologist! |
Dino Land!

| Students added red vinegar to baking soda to create volcanoes in dinosaur land! |
