You made some dinosaur patterns in the Mathematics Center. Some of you may share your patterns with the class. Students and teacher discuss the birth of dinosaurs and make hypotheses about the eggs - the size, color, texture, and length of time to hatch. Using the rebus story dictated previously, students sequence the sentences to describe the life cycle of the dinosaur. Tell the students that the sentences will be placed in the Science Center for them to continue to sequence.
Students draw in their journals the patterns they made with the dinosaur shapes.
The students also illustrate the life cycle of the dinosaur in their journals, using the words written on the life cycle chart. At the Drama Center, the students compose and illustrate a play about a baby dinosaur. Then the students act out the story. Describe how a dinosaur is born. Students sequence the pictures of a dinosaur's life cycle correctly.
