A Dinosaur Dig!

First grade had yet another amazing day learning and reviewing new things. We reviewed our phonics skills and sight words and practiced our fluency by rereading our story Mister Bones. For something a little bit different, I wrote sight words on bones and hid them in the classroom. The students had to pretend they were on a dinosaur dig and find the bones. As you can imagine they all had a great time. 

In Math class, we learned how to measure and draw line segments using the inch side of our ruler. It was tricky at first, but we soon got the hang of it. 

To finish the day, we did another dinosaur activity. The students 'dug' for fossils (chocolate chip cookies) in the sand, dust them off, dug for the bones (using a toothpick), and finally found the bones (chocolate chips). Here are pictures from this activity.
