RAWR...Dino Time

If you haven't checked out Mrs. Jump's Blog on how she introduces dinos you NEED to!!  I've been introducing them this way for the last couple of years and it creates such excitement in the class.

First, I bring in this HUGE egg and I tell the kiddos my dog Lily found it while out for a walk.  We learn about making inferences and complete the poster below together.

Soon, the egg hatches and this little guy appears!

We've also been learning about dinos.  As we learn about each one we complete a dino map and write in our informational books.
