My school system is implimenting new project based learning units this year and in the years to come. One of the units will be on dinosaurs. That seems like a preschool/ kindergarten topic. Am I wrong? Do any of you teach dinosaurs in first grade?
flacka We can't/don't teach about dinosaurs in kindergarten. If you make it a science-based unit and stay away from all the cute-sy stuff, I think it would be OK in first grade.

dan4thgr This site has some non-cutesy activities to do if you do indeed go ahead with dinos. There are a lot of paleontologists out there who would dispute dinos being just for 5 year olds.

OP Thanks dan4thgr. I will check out this site. It isn't only that I think dinos belong in prek or k but they are not on our current set of standards so I am not sure why we will now be teaching them.
