Samuel Morey Preschool: February 25

This week was our last week of our dinosaurs unit. On Monday, we read “Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones” and talked about how paleontologists reassemble dinosaur bones into skeletons to be put in museums. On Tuesday, we read “How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon?” and had fun predicting the rhyming words and listening to Ms. Rice attempt to pronounce tricky dinosaur names! We couldn’t go outside since the wind chill was below zero, so we had a dinosaur parade around the classroom with some instruments! On Wednesday, we read “Prehistoric Actual Size” and learned about the real sizes of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. We also talked about the meaning of the word “prehistoric.” On Thursday, we read “Fly Guy Presents: Dinosaurs” which presents scientific information about dinosaurs in an interesting and silly way! On Friday, Natalie Muhlestein came in to talk to the kids about her recent trip to Antarctica! She showed the kids a map to help them understand where Antarctica is, talked with them about her adventures, and showed them pictures and videos! The students really enjoyed seeing her pictures and videos of penguins, seals, and whales! We also read “They All Saw a Cat” as an introduction to our next unit on illustrators/artists. Next week, we will start the unit by reading books by Eric Carle and learning about how he creates his wonderful illustrations!
