The Moonbeam Classroom continues to explore the amazing world of dinosaurs. Our kiddos certainly love learning about these prehistoric creatures. Roar, Moonbeamers!!!!!!!

At drop off or pick up time, you may have noticed the many large-scale dinosaurs hanging around the classroom. Using numerous, vibrant colors of paint the students created huge paper versions of a tyrannosaurus rex, a brontosaurus and a diplodocus. This display looks wonderful! Do check it out! Fusing mathematics with the children’s current interest, the Moonbeam children tried their hand at graphing. During a whole-class Circle Time, the girls and boys each chose their own preferred prehistoric beast. The winner (by a landslide) was the mighty T-Rex! Sorry, Mr. Triceratops! Games are always a staple in the Moonbeam Classroom. During Choice Time, the pupils have enjoyed dinosaur memory and “Which Dinosaur is Missing?” The absolute favorite, though, has been the dinosaur version of “Guess Who.” The students were asked, “Guess who I am. I have four feet and a long neck and I like to eat plants.” Can you guess the dinosaur? Ask your child. They will tell you! Lastly, the Moonbeam kiddos wrote their own dinosaur poem as an entire class. Be sure to give it a read. It’s a literary treasure.

Up next: Observing the life cycle of butterflies right in our classroom! Also, more insect hunts on the playground.
