Students and their families joined in on an afternoon of hands-on learning and prehistoric fun. The young learners stepped into the role of paleontologists as they dug for fossils, created their own imprints, and measured dinosaur lengths. The excitement continued with dinosaur bingo, reading dino-themed books, and completing engaging activity pages which reinforced what they had been learning in class. To top it all off, each student decorated their very own dinosaur-shaped sugar cookie. Not pictured Ella Stewart.
