Roar! Dinosaurs!

Dinosaurs are the theme for the week! We will be doing so many dinosaur activities this week! We will of course be doing many art projects centered around dinosaurs J In addition to that, we will be digging for “fossils” in chunks of frozen ice, performing a volcano experiment, singing songs, reading books, exploring some math and literacy activities centered around dinosaurs, and even doing some dinosaur cooking projects! I will also post the rest of the books that we will be reading this week tomorrow evening.
