Dino activities
By LJ

We do a month long unit on dinos each year in second grade. We research the different periods and the dinos from the periods.... then compare and contrast carnivores, herbivores and omnivores with a venn diagram.... a project
the kids love is to make a diarahma (don't know the spelling ) But if you type in "dinosaurs" you will come up with lots of sites on dinos--- there are sites with printable dinos that the kids can color and cut out and there are also printable background scenes for the different periods as well. The kids can also use modeling clay to put in their (shoebox). Our art teacher gets

involved as well and they make a clay project that they paint and fire in the kiln for their diahrama (I think is the spelling). We do much much more, but the "shoebox" idea is fairly easy and done independently. If you wish to have more info please feel free to E me.
