We had a busy day today. We continued our conversation about dinosaur bones and how they can help us understand dinosaurs. We learned that by looking at the teeth of dinosaurs, paleontologists can tell whether the dinosaur was a carnivore (meat eater) or herbivore (plant eater). Today we also talked about how bones give us clues to ancestry and connections to other animals that remain today. Many friends have commented on the similarities to various sea creatures, lizards, and chickens. Our friends have many theories about what happened to the dinosaurs and who their descendants are.
This week we have also been talking about subtraction. We have been highlighting various friends’ strategies for solving these problems during share time and have created strategy posters. These posters can then support friends during independent problem solving time the following day by using a strategy that was successful for another child. The kids also get quite excited when their strategy goes up as a poster!
