When Dinosaurs Roamed Our Continent!
 
   The kids learned many interesting things about dinosaurs who once roamed our continent. Students wrote both fiction and non-fiction stories about dinosaurs. They used dino stamps to illustrate their pictures.
Our largest project involved letting the children select the team they wanted to be on to do a dino-sort.

  The kids sorted dinosaurs by certain characteristics. We had bipedal and quadrupedal sort on the left and Method of Locomotion on the right.

Students had to consult the Dinosaur Fact File or research for information in books at the Science Center.

Students need to know where and how to locate information.

             Method of Locomotion

          Predator or Prey

     Carnivore-Herbivore-Omnivore

            Bipedal or Quadrupedal

    Five teams worked on the Dino Sort Project. They were excellent PeaceBuilders! They worked together to classify the same set of pictures in five different ways.

     It was so good to hear the discussions that were going on at each group when making the decision of where to place the dinosaurs.

    Which period in the Mesozoic Era?         Triassic-Jurassic-Crestaceous

           The kids created DINORAMAS and wrote a report about their favorite dinosaur over holiday break.

   They did such a great job!

   
                
                
      The children who returned their work by the deadline received a ribbon for their added effort.  The dinoramas are currently on display in our library!  Dino-Mite!
