Happy Thursday!

We have been playing with dinosaurs in the sandbox and talking about them, so today we looked at real fossils.  We got to see the ancient fossilized sea bottom of Michigan from long before the time of the dinosaurs.  We also looked at petrified wood from the Triassic period just as dinosaurs were beginning their evolution.  Last we looked at the rib bone of an extinct prehistoric animal from after the time of the dinosaurs but before our time. 

WF is starting its own band led by Daniel! Our friends all gathered in a circle with their own unique instruments. The practice was a little rough from the start, so we had an introduction in the concept of keeping a beat. Ms. Kim showed them how to do this. Of course, with any band, the artists just play their own style (which must be a rock band because they quickly went back to their crazy rhythms). More practice may be required.  

We took the interest outside where our teacher berried the jaw bone of a horse.  We pretended to be paleontologists searching for fossilized bones.  It was exciting to finally find the jaw bone and many friends took turns re-hiding and rediscovering the bone.  A friend asked if this what the top or bottom part of the jaw so we got to talk about where the mandible is inside our own bodies as we inspected the horse jaw. 

Of course we also took care to water out seed trays in the green house!
