RAWR Dinosaur

It is finally that time of year! This week has led us into one of my student's most loved topics, Dinosaurs. I have been taking every opportunity to teach and review skills this week while having their attention. First, we kicked off the week by reading the story "If the Dinosaurs Came Back." Since we have been talking about measurement in Math we measured a T-Rex foot. First we measured the length and width.
   

 Next we discussed the giant area of the foot. Students made a prediction about how many kindergarten shoes we could fit in the area of the T-Rex foot.
   

 We finally filled the entire T-Rex foot after using all 32 Kindergarten shoes and even 1 of my own!
   

 We displayed the final product on our door!
