Ceratopsians

Today, we went through some facts and information about Ceratopsians.

Facts about ceratopsians:

-          They had horns growing from their head

-          They were found only in North America and in eastern Asia.

-          They lived in a small groups

-          The adult would form a ring to protect the young

-          Types of ceratopsians: Torosaurus, Styracosaurus, Centrosaurus

I get the children to observe the three types of Ceratopsians that the book showed here as the features on each of them looks very unique and easily recognized.

In a short time, the children could actually tell me the differences among the three of them as the horns looked very different.

Fun with Play Dough

I wish to see how much impression the children have with dinosaur. Therefore, I brought in some play dough for them to play with it. They were encouraged to knead shapes of any dinosaur that they had studied. However, it still takes them quite a while to realize how to do it. At least the children tried their best and they enjoyed it very much.
