Diggin' for Dinosaurs

Help me give my students the experience of an archeologist by digging for dinosaur bones.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Inns's classroom raised $198

This project is fully funded

My Project

First graders are in their last quarter of the year! We will be having a STEM week full of games and activities.

Students will become archeologists by digging for dinos with the Kolegend 24pcs Dino Eggs Dig Kit.

Each student will receive their own dino egg and use tools just like an archeologist, to dig for dinosaur bones. They will use great care when carving out the rock and brush away the dust with their special tools. Students will also participate in learning about what makes bubbles. Each student will receive their own JA-RU Bloonies Magic Plastic Bubbles Balloons tube with stick. The STEM week will also include becoming experts in finding treasure using their map skills. Each student will receive clues to find the Large Pirate Treasure Chests, housed with gems and jewels.

I can't wait to share this STEM opportunity with my students!
