Dinocabulary!

Posted at 3:54 pm under Argus

Mr, Henderson, Jo’Vyon and Addie created dinosaur tracks.

Sascha creates a triceratops head! We learned their big head protected them by intimidating other creatures.

This morning, some friends noticed that our morning message looked a little funny- it had lots of interesting looking words and pictures on it. During morning meeting, we took a closer look at the message- it was Dinocabulary! The chart had three categories each written with a Latin word part and a picture of its meaning. We learned that dinosaurs names come from Latin and they often describe traits about the dinosaur. For example, triceratops means three horned face. Tyrannosaurus Rex means tyrant king! We tried building some of our own dinosaur names for fun- and loved it. Tomorrow, we will make our own dinosaur word generators.
