November 9, 2010: DINOSAURS-"Big or small God made them all"

Today we learned about the letter "D" for "Duck, Doll, Drum, Door, and Doll". We did our "D" books, colored and cut them out and stapled them together. We also learned "D" is for Dinosaur!!

We looked at pictures of different types of Dinosaurs today. We learned the T-Rex, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, Terodactyl, and the Velociraptor.

Then we read the book "What really happened to the Dinosaurs." It taught us that God created the dinosaurs the same day he created all the other animals on the earth. We learned that there were dinosaurs on Noah's ark, and that the rest of the dinosaurs that didn't make it onto the ark drowned in the great flood. Their bodies were pushed into the earth by all the water and that is why it appears to scientists that they were older than they really were. We learned the word "Dinosaur" means "terrible lizard", and that they died off after the flood because the earth had changed so much. While we were reading anytime the girls saw a dinosaur that we learned a name for they yelled it out! They had a blast!!

Then the girls picked their favorite dinosaur from the pictures S~ chose the Velociraptor and A~ chose the T-Rex. Then we got out some play dough and made our own dinosaurs. We had so much fun!
