Dinosaurs have been popular in our room since the beginning of the year but as of a couple days ago some of the 3B children came into the classroom being dinosaurs, we knew right away that we should go deeper into that theme. We saw a passion and curiosity.
We think that the study of dinosaurs fosters curiosity and a thirst for learning and questioning the world around us. Children almost right away leaped into dramatic play time using props, creating verbal stories and asking scientific questions about these monstrous creatures i.e. meat eaters vs plant eaters, theories of extinction and volcanoes. The study of dinosaurs incorporates a myriad of science and role playing activities and we can’t wait to see what is ahead of us. We will be learning along side the children.
