It's dinosaur week here at AoFC and these kiddos have been absolutely LOVING it! I am always so incredibly blown away by the knowledge that these little ones have when it comes to dinosaurs. In the younger classrooms, the teachers have been bringing out our new large dinosaurs to show their kiddos, along with reading lots and lots of books about dinosaurs! We had a special visit from the Adventure Science Center in which they brought giant fossils, dinosaur eggs, books, and other fun activities for our older kiddos to engage in! It was so cool to see these littles having the time of their lives, hands deep in sand, brushing sand off of fossils! The lady taught them all of the different names of dinosaurs, and even let them put their foot on a giant dinosaur foot!! We also made our own dinosaur fossils. We put small plastic dinosaurs into balloons, and then filled them up with water, let them freeze overnight, and then had the kiddos preform their very own dinosaur excavations! They all had a BLAST getting to do this, and we loved getting to observe their excitement. We love summertime here at The Academy so much, and it's so crazy to think that summer is almost over! Dinosaur week has been a huge hit, and we thank all who participated!
