This T-rex, this T-rex, he goes tromping all around,
With a stomp and a tromp and a (clap, clap, clap)
This T-rex is tromping on!
This T-rex, this T-rex, he goes yelling all around,
With a grump and growl and a great big (Rroarr!)
This T-rex is yelling now!
Show & Tell: Kaylie
Calendar – Introduce the new month. Practice saying September in Spanish, septiembre. What is pictured on the calendar heading this month? Place the calendar piece on the grid and say the date together. Before putting on today's date, ask the children which picture is next? This calendar is a great way to teach patterning!

Daily Basics
* Review Letter A (sign)
* Review #1 (Spanish)
* Introduce #2 (Spanish), reinforce the numbers one and two by asking the children to practice moving forward and backward. For example, have them hop forward with one hop and backward with two hops. Try other movements such as tiptoeing, leaping, skipping, etc.
9:20-9:25 Movers & Shakers
Dinosaur Says
Play a version of “Simon Says” to reinforce number concepts and listening skills. Choose one child to be the leader. The leader stands in front of the group and asks the other children to do one or more dinosaur actions. For example, when the leader requests, “Dinosaur says roar!,” the children should roar. If the leader DOES NOT say “Dinosaur says…” before the request, children DO NOT follow the request! Allow all children to continue playing even if they make a mistake. Actions can include hips, stretches, spins, giant steps, baby steps, claps, etc.
9:25-9:30 Mini Lesson
Five Senses
Ask the children to sit in a circle. Bring out the Five Senses Topic Card. Name the five senses: sight, taste, hearing, touch, and smell. Point to the body parts related to each sense. As the children sit quietly, what senses are they using? Can they hear a car outside or see the color of someone’s shirt? Can they smell lunch or a snack cooking or feel the texture of the floor? Be creative with your surroundings!
9:30-9:45 Language
Hooked on Phonics
Use “Helper” cards – go through a few of them until you lose their attention then move onto the “Play on Words” cards and ask them to spell some words they know. Some possible words: the names of each child, car, toy, stop, no, go, etc.
9:45-10:00 Cooking/Wash Hands
Dinosaur Feet
Recipe:
Refrigerated biscuits
Butter, melted
Cinnamon sugar mixture
Slivered almonds
Bake biscuits according to directions. Brush each biscuit with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar. While the biscuits are still warm, insert five slivered almonds around the edge of each biscuit to resemble dinosaur claws. Serve the “Dinosaur Feet” with a glass of milk.
10:00-10:10 Math
Bone Match
Bring out the “Dinosaur Bone Match”
Review last week’s discussion about dinosaur bones and how they turn into fossils. Talk about how we have bones, too. Show the children each dinosaur piece. Look carefully at the dinosaur skeleton pictures. Work together to match each dinosaur to its bones.
10:10-10:25 Snack
Finish making the dinosaur feet, then eat!
10:25-10:40 Play Time

David Goes to School by David Shannon
10:50-11:00 Music Time
11:00-11:20 Art
Prehistoric Puppet
Cut the dinosaur patterns apart and give each child one pattern and one paper plate. Provide crayons and markers and invite them to color the pattern. Provide scissors and glue. Invite the children to cut out the pattern. Glue the dinosaur to the front of the paper plate.
Divide the wikki stix and craft sticks among the children. The wikki stix may be cut into smaller pieces, formed into shapes, and then pressed onto the dinosaur pattern for different features. Wikki stix may not stick to areas with heavy crayon marks. Use glue as necessary. Tape the craft stick to the back of the plate.
Keep the Prehistoric Puppets at your setting throughout the theme. They may be used to sing songs and in dramatic play.
