April 13 - 17 Our first week of Dinosaur Days



Lydia Jones is our Star of the Week!  Congratulations Lydia!

The children are enjoying the Art Easel.

Paintings that the children created on the art easel.

Outdoor recess!  Soon the snow will be all gone!

Creating our own art dinosaurs we were able to use any materials we wished.

The results our dinosaurs each one is unique!

Roll the dinosaur cube record by printing the numbers which dinosaur will race to the finish line?

Measure the dinosaur bones using links, cars, blocks, and cubes.  Record how many of each item it required to measure each bones.

The Paleontologists are hard at work uncovering dinosaur related words.  After six words are recorded they draw their favorite dinosaur.

The children are busy designing impressive car parks.  We may have some architects in the class.  Notice the bird's eye view of the building.

I reintroduced the choice board.  The children were choosing the same area all the time with the same people.  Now they choose a centre and each there is a posted number of children permitted at each centre..  Each day different people choose first.  After 15 - 20 minutes children are asked to choose a different centre.  On the second rotation, one group of children work/play with me at my table.


A couple of groups working with me at my table we played 7 Up and Snakes and Ladders!



Some learning centre time!

The dinosaur puzzle is popular!

Our Dinosaur learning map the children know a lot  of facts about dinosaurs!

We ended fabulous Friday by making Flubber with Mrs. Yes's grade eight students in the science lab.  Each child got to take some Flubber home with explicit instructions to use it at the table!
