Dino Week!

We have been having a blast learning about dinosaurs! We've incorporated them into our math and literacy centers (and a few extra fun things in between). 
 We got to check out some real fossils too!

 Each student pretended they discovered a new dinosaur (learned about its appetite, habitat, and even named them). Then we got to sculpt them out of play-doh! We took a tour around our "dino museum" and voted on our favorites. Such creative first graders!

 We got to practice our spelling words in shaving cream! Not dino-related, but still pretty fun.
Our school is so lucky to have had a wonderful author, Sandra Mendez, come share some of her stories with us! She was so fun and our first graders were a wonderful audience.

Lastly, here's a quick pic from our ice cream party! With a little bit of muscle we successfully turned a liquid into a solid (and it was delicious!)
