This week our Pre-K explorers will continue their dinosaur adventures by exploring numbers with dinosaurs! Children will practice counting, comparing sizes, and recognizing patterns using dinosaur eggs and figures in hands-on math activities.
🔎 Our Learning Focus
Children will explore numbers and patterns using dinosaurs while developing early math skills such as counting, comparing size, and organizing information.
🎯 Learning Goals
• I can count dinosaur eggs.
• I can compare big and small dinosaurs.
• I can make patterns using dinosaurs.
📚 Books We Are Reading
• How Do Dinosaurs Count to Ten?
• Dinosaurs by the Numbers – Steve Jenkins
🧠 What We Are Practicing
• One-to-one correspondence while counting dinosaur eggs
• Recognizing and creating AB and ABC patterns
• Comparing the length and size of dinosaurs
• Sorting and graphing favorite dinosaurs
🦕 Special Activities
• Dinosaur egg counting station
• Pattern building with dinosaur figures
• Measuring and comparing dinosaur lengths
• Class graph of favorite dinosaurs
🗣 Vocabulary Words
count • pattern • compare • more • less • equal
🔤 Literacy Connection
Children will practice identifying beginning sounds in dinosaur words and exploring number words during story time.
🔎 Did You Know?
Some dinosaurs were as small as a chicken, while others were longer than a school bus! Scientists use measurements and comparisons to learn more about how dinosaurs lived.
