3rd Grade Dinosaur Unit
















Third graders have been learning about dinosaurs and fossils. First they read books and did research on websites. Then they each chose a dinosaur, wrote a report, and did some type of visual presentation. Many students made dioramas, while others designed posters. Jonathan’s was dinomite!

To finish off the dinosaur learning, the whole third grade went to the Pink Palace. We had our own dinosaur expert explain types of fossils. Then everyone got to dig for fossils and examine them like palentologists. Mary and Erica touched a real triceratops leg bone! Ms. Assel’s class was amazed at the size of the skeletons!
