For the past several weeks, the Kindergarten classes have been learning about research. We have practiced developing questions, finding facts and answering our questions. As a tie-in to a classroom unit on "hatching," we began a library project that was centered around dinosaurs. Luckily, this was a subject that everyone was interested in!
Each student has chosen a dinosaur and used World Book Online in order to answer questions about his or her dino; what it ate, how it moved and what it looked like. We then talked about how we learn about dinosaurs since they are extinct, and talked a little bit about bones and fossils. As a final project, we created our own dinosaur fossils this week in the library!
Below are some of the things that we wondered about our dinos before we began our research. Also available for your viewing pleasure are a few of our fossils.
Enjoy!

"I Wonder"
-Did my dinosaur move fast or slow?
-Did my dinosaur use its long neck to reach leaves on the trees?
-Would my dinosaur eat a person?
-Why did my dinosaur walk on 2 feet?
-Did my dinosaur have sharp teeth?
-Who would win in a fight, (insert dinosaur name) or T-Rex??
