November 9-13

Happy Friday the 13Th!!!!

THIS WEEK

We learned about Carnivores this week. We talked about how they just eat meat and we brainstormed about other animals that just eat meat. The kids did a great job. We also learned a Dinosaur song and movements that go with it.
The Dinosaurs lived long ago
and walked like this and that (walk heavy)
Some were large (stretch arms out)
And some were small (squat down)
some liked water (swimming motion)
And some liked land (stomp you feet)
Some had wings that flapped and flapped (flap your arms)
Some had necks that stretched and stretched (raise your arms above your head)
The meanest, rudest one of all was the ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex
There were the Dinosaurs of long ago
Goodness gracious!! Where did they go?

We worked on the letter E this week. We would like to THANK
Ben for bringing in an Elephant and an Eyeball.
