Dinosaurs! Part 2

You can see and read Dinosaurs! Part 1 HERE!

I am  back to share the rest of my dinosaur activities.

This unit is listed on Teacher’s Pay Teachers.

Here is the link: Dinosaur Unit

Here is our book table filled with Dinosaur books. Thankfully, I had a nice supply but I also checked out several from our town library and I borrowed some from our school library.

Days and Months of the Year cards and recording sheet. We used this as an afternoon center. Students sorted and put the cards in order using the pocket chart then they wrote the words on the recording sheet.

The cards and the recording sheet are both included in the Dinosaur Unit.

One BIG skill we have been working on is counting by 3’s. I ran these papers front & back. We did the counting chart together {they had to color the numbers to show counting by 3’s.} Then, they finished the rest of the paper later independently.

Both of these counting by 3’s worksheets are included in the unit.

This money paper was one of our morning work activities. I gave them paper money to cut and glue in the boxes. You could easily use money stamps or just draw the coins.

The money paper is included in the Dinosaur unit too.

Here are two more practice sheets. We used the tally marks as an “early finisher” activity after centers one day. The math fact sheet was morning work one morning.

Every day we learned about a different dinosaur. I would introduce the dinosaur with a poster of facts. Then we would fill out an “info map” for each one.

The facts that are written on these posters are in the Dinosaur Unit.

Also included in the unit are the 4 different dinosaur info maps.

The four dinosaurs we learned about were: Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and Apatosaurus.

This simple cut and paste is also in the Dino Unit. We did this on the last day after we had discussed the 4 dinosaurs.

whew! This is a BIG unit. There are 15 different activities included and I am really proud of myself for stepping outside of my comfort zone. I usually teach the same “units” each year and just add new stuff. My first graders LOVED this. Even the girls. I was really expecting them not to enjoy it that much.. but they loved it.

The dinosaur books and posters are still out in my room. Mixed right up with the Easter Bunnies! HA!
