The children painted a dinosaur shape with tempera cake paints and cut around it. They printed their name on diamonds and glued them onto the back to create a "Name-o-saurus!"
The children painted a banner with rollers and the teachers cut it into a Triceratops for the classroom bulletin board over the cubbies.
One of the children celebrated his 4th birthday!
These girls are looking at the dinosaurs on the bulletin board using a camera and binoculars from the paleontologist lab!
Building with dinosaurs and curved blocks promote creative, imaginative play!
Our field trip to the Coast Gusard Air Station was very educational. The children were able to board and go in cockpit and the back of the C-!30 radar/transport plane named Hercules. It is able to carry the Jayhawk Helicoptor in back of the cargo area.
We walked down the hanger to the Jayhawk helicoptor.
Commander Hipes showed us a safety rocket.
On Friday at exploring the children ate trees (broccoli) and bones (pasta). We talked about herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores!. We took off our shoes and socks and donned dinosaur feet and stomped with paint on banner paper.
In honor of Dr Seuss' birthday, Mrs. Sam recited some of the Cat in the Hat book at assembly and then showed the children how to make hats using newspaper and colored tape. The children will decorate the hats at the party on Friday, 3/9.
Our classroom was the music room with Mrs. McIvor!
