We start our Dino unit out by practicing our number formations. Learning to trace is the first step in hand control for writing.
We used our fine motor skills for making fossils in clay.
Some of the kids took our tangagrams and made dinosaur fossils of their own. (Use your imagination!)
Its always wonderful to see when a child chooses the book center. Reese loved the dinosaur poster book!
Categorizing and patterning.
Making dino "caves" in the blocks.
Reading time.
Group math learning about how many pieces can fit in a whole round piece~
Then we used the shapes to make things. "It's like pizza, Miss Kathi!"
Art time cutting and pasting.
Math centers lacing and sorting.
My favorite time.......seeing children "read" and "tell" stories with books.
Have you been to the Mesa Museum? They have large animated dinosaurs and a simulated rain storm, dinosaur fossils and more. A nice cool trip would be great during this unit!
