Footprints!

Hello Parents,

      Today was a very exciting day. We learned all about dinosaur footprints. We talked about what they would do if they found one. Most of the children said they would run away. Then they said dinosaurs are very, very big! Today we asked the children. Which dinosaurs do you think had big step and which one took little steps? They said the t-Rex took big steps so does the brontosaurs. But they think the pterodactyl would take little steps.

But we had the most fun playing with our dinosaur feet, we learned it was pretty hard to have such big feet like a dinosaur. We had a blast roaring!

                                   





For our group game we played puzzle making. It was a puzzle of dinosaur bones! Our teacher hid the puzzles pieces around the room and we went searching for the "Dinosaur bones." Once we collected all the bones we put it together and discovered it was the bones of a T-Rex!

   

We also focused on the number 10. During writing time we talked about what details you might find in a dinosaur footprint. We gave the children their journals and found the page with ten eggs on it. We encouraged the children to trace the number ten. Then we asked them to draw two ovals, and 10 circles to make feet!
