Creating a Dinosaur Zoo!
It all began when students were sorting our dinosaur manipulatives and had a great idea! Why not create a Dinosaur Zoo so that all of the dinosaurs would have a place to live!
They created a pen for each of the types of dinosaurs, added fences, walkways and an entrance. Next, the students used small parts and materials from around the room (blocks, corks, paper, lego, unifix cubes) to create trees, meat, fish, and a pond.
As the group got bigger, the students began to look in books to find out the names of the dinosaurs. They also sorted our books into fiction and non-fiction piles.
Looking in books has helped us to answer a lot of our questions!
-I wonder why some dinosaurs have long necks
-How did these authors make dinosaur books when the dinosaurs are not here anymore?
-Are dragons dinosaurs?
- Why do dinosaurs lay eggs?
-Why are dinosaurs so big?
Our Dinosaur Zoo is now open to the public! Boys and Girls from the class can visit our zoo to learn and play.
We have drawn pictures and made labels to help everyone visiting the zoo. We also made a list of zoo rules to keep everyone safe!
We hope you visit soon!
