Dinosaur Exploration

This kindergarten class had a choice to make! Will they be learning about planets or dinosaurs?


The majority of the kindergarten students decided that they wanted to learn about Dinosaurs. The next step of learning for students was to build their background knowledge. What do they know? What questions do they have? 

Their teachers provided lots of books, showed pictures, showed video clips,  read informational texts, provided fun learning activities that included mapping skills and following directions. The students were able to discover and learn about the life cycle of dinosaurs!

Once they found the eggs, the students had to take them to the water table to learn about melting ice and to discover what was inside the egg!
