Dinosaurs

This week our theme was “Dinosaurs”.  The children made dinosaur masks and dotted dinosaurs.  We made a big dinosaur out of paper plates and painted it with watercolors.  We also made our Valentine’s Day cardholders and focused on the letter Dd & the number 9.

Next week our theme will continue to be “Dinosaurs”.  On Wednesday and Thursday we will enjoy our field trip to the Broadway Theater to see Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs!  We will also make a classroom book about dinosaurs and create dinosaur skeletons/fossils.  During our center time we will practice fine motor skills, number recognition, graphing and shapes.  We will learn about the number 10 and our letter for the week will be Oo.
