Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Families, What a great week back from vacation! This week was the start of our dinosaur unit, and I think the grown ups learned from the kids. We have quite a few resident experts on dinosaurs between the two classes. This week, we learned about what a fossil is, what paleontologists do, and had discussions about why dinosaurs are no longer alive. Our dramatic play has turned into a mix of a paleontology dig site and a prehistoric dinosaur lair. They are having fun being dinosaurs stomping around and hiding in their cave! When they are paleontologists, they wear the proper gear (vest and hardhat), dig for fossils, then measure them. On Wednesday and Thursday, we went out to the sidewalk and each child got a mini dinosaur that was stuck in ice! They had to use spray bottles and squirt bottles to get them out. We talked about why warm water would help the ice melt. They had a ton of fun! Ask Your Child: Did you help trapped dinosaurs get out of the ice? How did you do it? What tools did you use? Outside this week was fantastic!!! We explored the woods and the water garden in our muddy buddy suits. I have purchased a class set of muddy buddy suits, so you do not have to send in rain pants if you don't want to/have them. The kids (and grown ups!) had a blast jumping into deep puddles! On Tuesday, we explored the vernal pool and saw frogs and frog eggs. Enjoy this rainy weekend, Ms. Murray
