Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to learn about dinosaurs through art, English, math, and science activities.

Materials and Prep

• Coloring pencils or markers
• Blank paper
• Dinosaur books or online resources
• Basic addition and subtraction flashcards
• Small toy dinosaurs (optional)

No prior knowledge needed, just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm!

Activities

• Art: Draw your favorite dinosaur and color it in. Be creative with the colors!
• English: Write a short story about a dinosaur adventure. Include where the dinosaur goes and who it meets.

Talking Points

• Dinosaurs Lived Long Ago: "Dinosaurs lived a long time ago before people. They were very big and some were very small."
• Dinosaurs Came in Different Shapes and Sizes: "Some dinosaurs had long necks and some had sharp teeth. They came in many different shapes and sizes!"
• Dinosaurs Are Extinct: "Today, we don't see dinosaurs because they are extinct. That means they are no longer alive."
• Dinosaurs Left Fossils: "Dinosaurs left behind fossils. Fossils are like dinosaur bones that we can find and study."
• We Learn About Dinosaurs Through Science: "Scientists study dinosaurs to learn more about them. We can learn about dinosaurs through books, videos, and museums."
