Dino Days!

We just finished up a fun couple of weeks here, with a Dinosaur theme!  There was stomping...there was RRRRROOOOAAAARRRRIIIINNNNGGG, there was even redo of the 80's tune "Walk like an Egyptian" to become "Walk Like a Dinosaur".  I just now realized that we SHOULD have gone with "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (Not Was).  DOH!  Maybe we'll extend our theme for an extra day to fit that in :)

The highlight of the week for the T's was making fossils with salt dough, and then going on a 'dig' to find them.

We had some fun books for storytime...

• Dinosaurumpus! by Tony Mitton, illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees
• Stomp! Chomp! Big Roars! Here Come the Dinosaurs! by Kaye Umansky
• Countasaurus by Megan E. Bryant, illustrated by Luciana Navarro Powell
• What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs? by John Morris and Ken Ham
• Dinosaurs Before Dark (Magic Tree House, No. 1) by Mary Pope Osborne and Sal Murdocca

And we had a great time using the Dino Stomp Number Line Activity Mat from Excellerations during math.

We even had fun with our food :)  We just happened to have a sandwich cutter that makes dinosaur shapes, and I found dinosaur egg oatmeal at the store.  Happy coincidence!

Up next week: the Water Cycle.  Makes me thirsty just thinking about it.  

Have a wonderful weekend!!
