Second GradeOur thematic unit on dinosaurs will be taught
over a course of five consecutive days in a second grade classroom. The curriculum on dinosaurs will focus on a variety of subjects, such as reading, science, mathematics, and writing. For our lessons we plan to cover a broad over view in dinosaurs, including how we know about them, types of dinosaurs, and how they lived.

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Activity: A brief overview of the history of dinosaurs. Followed by reading The Magic School Bus in the Time of the Dinosaurs.
Activity: Discuss the extinction of dinosaurs and create their own dinosaurs and write three sentences about their dinosaur. They will then measure the length of the body parts in inches.
Activity: The students will have a fun and interactive to the Dinosaur State Park.
Activity: Students will be conducting interviews with a partner.
Activity: Creating an article for the Dino-times using knowledge learned from the week and the interviews.
