Pterodactyls,bird,&otherprehistoricanimals
This week, your child will explore outer space through various hands-on projects, creative activities, and imaginative play experiences that bring the wonders of the universe into the classroom.
Your child will explore dinosaurs through creative art projects like stomp painting, hands-on rescue activities with tape and sensory materials, dramatic space station play, sign language learning, phonics exploration, and movement games that develop fine and gross motor skills while building vocabulary in theirimmersionlanguage.
Through engaging activities and playful learning, your child will explore dinosaur fossils, paleontology tools, volcaniceruptions,andprehistoriclifewhiledeveloping fine motor skills, scientific reasoning, creative expression, and vocabulary in their immersion language.
Your child will discover fascinating prehistoric animals through hands-on creative projects, including crafting paper pterodactyl puppets and exploring ancient creatures, while developing fine motor coordination, artistic expression, scientific curiosity, and expanding their prehistoric vocabulary in their immersion language.
