Pre-K April 19, 2012 Dinosaurs!

We had 46 children in attendance and they were awesome!  They were throwing dinosaur facts and names at me that I didn't even know!

Books ( I didn't read the latter two, but they were close contestants):

Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones by Byron Barton.  A team of scientists look for, transport, and assemble bones for a museum. 

How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You? by Jane Yolen. Dinosaurs, like children, misbehave but they love us and we love them!


Dancing with the Dinosaurs by Jane Clarke

Dinosaur Bonesby Bob Barner

Music:

"We are the Dinosaurs" by Laurie Berkner.  Dinosaurs march, eat, nap, and ROAR

"Dinosaurs in Cars". I was afraid this would be cheesy, but the kids got really into it.  You can download it for free from the linked site.

My Costco dino puppets danced with us:


Letter of the Day: Tt for T-Rex
(Imagine my surprise when I was also informed that Torosaurus and Pterodactyl start with a T...As I write this blog, I think I stand corrected on the spelling of these flying dinos)

Flannel: What Dinosaur is Missing?
These kids sure have good memories.  They were only momentarily stumped when Lesley secretly removed two dinosaurs.
