Ryan and the dinosaurs

 Ryan's class has been studying dinosaurs in science and I was trying to come up with a snack for them to enjoy when I went to read a book.  They loved the t rex cheese and crackers!

 

 I picked Ashley up from school and we went straight to Ryan's class.  She pulled out a few books while she was waiting for the class to finish up. 

 Ryan's teacher is SO creative and done some really fun things to get them into learning about dinosaurs-he had a game going teaching them facts about dinosaurs, the class was divided into teams and each team had their own nest and he wore a t rex hat and went around stealing their eggs from the nests! 

 They have done a ton of research in their groups and made these posters about theories about what happened to the dinosaurs

 Posters and maps about the periods of dinosaurs

 Ashley having her t rex cheese and me getting to wear the special t rex hat-Ashley had played with it until it was crooked and can't tell what I am wearing-oh well!

 Their last unit in Science was 5 sense and these are Ryan's clay models
