Last month’s topic, Dinosaurs, was very fun and exciting for the students and teachers too! The children were introduced to many new words and were able to apply these words to past and current events and everyday experiences. For example, the word extinct started an interesting dialogue about some of today’s animals that are faced with the threat of extinction. The children’s awareness that these animals could become extinct brought on many questions. This, in turn, started discussions about the rain forest, polar caps and animal shelters. The words herbivore, carnivore and omnivore created interest and discussions on the choice of diets. I am always excited by lessons inside of lessons. This is a great way to help
children understand their world and it gives them the opportunity to explore
their similarities and celebrate their differences. I encourage you to keep the dialogue going. After all, lessons never really end.
Enjoy every moment,
