All Aboard the Dinosaur Train


This week we will hop on board the Dinosaur Train as we explore these extinct creatures. Dinosaur Train is actually a new show on PBS/WVIZ. Last week I had the opportunity to attend a workshop with Dr. Scott Sampson who is the palentologists who helped create this show. Check out the Dinosaur Train website for fun games and activities.

Dinsosaur Dudes is a great couting book for little ones. You can read the animated online version here.

We will be reading the following stories this week:
* Dinosaur Friends (wh questions)
* Dinosaur Roar (opposites)
* The Dinosaur Who Lost His Roar
* Ten Terrible Dinosaurs (counting)

We will have our first letter of the week...letter Dd for dinosaur. On Tuesday, we will make dino dip for snack (veggies & dip). Check out the recipe here.

Our Star Students of the week are Mary Estelle and Kyle.

Happy Birthday to Sasha!
