For the past a couple of weeks we have been exploring dinosaurs. Multiple spontaneous conversations sparked interesting questions among the children about how fragile/how strong a dinosaurs’ egg can be. Can a mommy dinosaur crack the egg when sitting on it? Or, why does a T-Rex have short hands? Validating and supporting children’s natural interest is the key component of sustaining children’s curiosity and love for learning.
in addition, this week the children painted their dinosaurs made with their special grownups during our curriculum breakfast. As a continuation, 3B friends now are in the process of creating their own books with a story line about the dinosaurs and their adventures.
During our museum visit we explored dinosaurs’ fossils, bones and skeletons. For an hour, the children participated in hands-on guided explorations.
Happy 4th Birthday Alfie! We love you!
