This month we started with our new unit “Dinosaurios.” The children always have an interest in dinosaurs as they arouse their curiosity and amazement. It is an interesting topic to work on because it attracts the attention of the little ones and thanks to this, they can be actively engaged in their learning process. Children often feel fascinated by the larger aspect of dinosaur life. Although the preschoolers may be too young to understand the science behind paleontology, extinction, erosion and other principles, they can learn the basics through play and exploration. So, we will provide children with a variety of activities and learning opportunities that help their senses and engage their minds to grow their interest in the lessons. We started working with Diplodocus dinosaurs. We learned that this dinosaur lived 150 million years ago. The Diplodocus dinosaurs had a long neck, long tail, and weighed twice an elephant. They ate plants and they could live to be 100 years old. That’s a lot of birthdays!
Vocabulary of the week:
Dinosaurio-dinosaur,
Hueso-bone,
Fòsil-fossil.
The kids did a god job working with diplodocus dinosaur activities, such as: diplodocus dinosaur paper plate, finger paint, cutting, puzzles, and finding the differences between the dinosaurs (compare/contrast).
