K-2nd Grade 2011-2012
To start the year our K-2nd grade students will be working on Dinosaurs, Kid Town and Character Quest.
Dinosaurs the students become archeologists, learn about various dinosaurs, work with telling time to save
and feed their baby dinosaurs and eventually go on a fossil dig to find, dig and map dinosaur fossil replicates.
Want to know what dinosaurs we're studying? Check out the pdf file below. The students have a pronunciation key
and will be adding facts to our slides throughout the year. Feel free to research them together.

Kid Town is a classroom simulation to turn our classroom into a city. The students elect mayors,
develop the town and decide how to plan the city. What rules do they want? Who decides?
How do we improve as a community?
Finally Character Quest the students have bus buddies and there goal is to complete various activities based on the pillars of character in order to move their bus through "Goodland". We work with Aesop's fables and focus on how we deal with issues of character appropriately.
