Hop Aboard the Dinosaur Train in our Pre-k-osaurus

My Project

What better way to learn about prehistoric times than to pretend to be giant life like dinosaurs in our pre-k classroom! As educators, we learn more by watching how our own students interact with one another during play time. How many times do we stop, take pictures of all their smiles and send them to their parents to reassure them that we are in fact having the most fabulous time in our new home, our classroom! There is no greater sound than hearing children laughing all the way down the hallway. We cannot wait to explore our new Dinosaur unit with all the fun puzzles and toys that we all picked together!
