Snow Update

How tall was a T-Rex?

We ended dinosaur week with everyone's favorite.....The Tyrannosaurus Rex!!!

I asked the students how tall a t-rex was.

Awesome problem solving and creative thinking!

I had a pre-measured piece of yarn in my hand. (20 Feet long)

I asked the students if he was as tall as me.

 (holding the yarn even with the top of my head, letting the extra yarn drag the ground)

Students: "NO, taller!"

So I climbed onto a shelf and held the yarn to the ceiling.

Me: "Was a t-rex this tall?"

Students: "NO, taller!"

We then went outside. 

Me: "Where could I go to get taller?"

Students: "Stand on the slide."

Me: "Is this how tall a t-rex was?"

Students: "No, taller!"

Me: "Where can I go to get taller?"

Students: "Get on the roof!"

Me: "Ohhh, good idea!"

Up I went!

Me: "Is this how tall a t-rex was?"

Students: "YES!!"

 We also stomped like a t-rex to the beat of a drum! Great activity for "fast and slow".

Dinosaur Eggs

Dinosaurs laid eggs...in a nest?! 

 We had to try it! 

 I led my students outside and shared with them the fact that dinosaurs laid eggs in nests they built. 

 We decided that the nest must have been really big and decided to use some teamwork to 

build a dinosaur sized nest.

 After our nest was built, my dinosaur assistant laid some dinosaur eggs in our nest!

We then opened the eggs to see what kind of dinosaur babies were inside.

Dinosaur Fun!

Here are a few games I made to go in my centers this week.  

You can find them in my TpT store.
