Dino Day!

Help me give my students an educational and exciting end-of-unit celebration of learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Murfitt's classroom raised $237

This project is fully funded

My Project

In our second-grade curriculum, we spend 3 units on the study of paleontologists. Learning through science and stories, my students learn about how fossils tell about the Earth's changes! As a class, we learn about paleontologists, dinosaurs, fossils, and even how to become a paleontologist!

With this project, my students will be able to have an exciting and educational end-of-unit celebration at Dino-Day!

Dino-Day is a day that will wrap up what we have learned throughout these units. It will be a day filled with fun and educational activities for students to engage in. I hope to be able to have these dinosaur fossil eggs, games, and other items to further my students' celebration and give them some more educational and hands-on activities!
