Magic Tree House History Unit 1 - Dinosaurs

After reading Dinosaurs Before Dark (she sat through me reading it in one sitting), I printed out some dinosaur coloring pages from here, not so much for coloring, but so Bear could see the shapes of a selection of dinosaurs.

Bear was asked to pick the three dinosaurs she liked the most.  For these, we did a little bit more reading.  I then read her the pages at wikibooks.  (Here is an example for apatosaurus - the links for each dinosaur can be found at the alphabet coloring book link above.)

I also printed out this and cut it up to make a skinny strips of dinosaur facts.  We sorted them into carnivores and herbivores and we matched our plastic dinosaurs
to the cards after she excavated them from her dig.

I browsed kidsdinos and was going to share some of it with Bear, but never got around to it.

We also learned some songs at CanTeach which we have been singing at Calendar time at "school."

Our favorite dinosaur books have been the "How do Dinosaurs..." series by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague, 

and Gnash, Gnaw, Dinosaur! by Tony Mitton.

This is definitely Bear's favorite!
