👋 Hey there Dino-Mite Paleontologists in the making!! In this ongoing class, you will learn about four AMAZING carnivores 🦖 and four WONDERFUL herbivores 🦕 in our weeks together. Each class learners will also complete a craft and/or hands-on activity for each dinosaur we meet. This class is much like my popular Weekly Dose of Dinosaurs class, but with the twist of adding in crafts/experiments/activities. Learners will cover information such as the structure of the dinosaur (physical abilities & features), what they eat (carnivore or herbivore), behavior and actions (personality), and more! Learners are able to join class at anytime as each meeting does not build upon one another! ———————WEEKLY DINOSAUR & ACTIVITY——————— 🦕 (January 14th - 20th) --- Brontosaurus (coloring page) and Paper Plate Long Neck craft. 🦖 (January 21st - 27th) --- Triceratops (coloring page) and Dinosaur Hat craft. 🦕 (January 28th - February 3rd) --- Microraptor (coloring page) and Salt Dough Fossils (science experiment) 🦖 (February 4th - 10th) --- Parasaurolophus (coloring page) and Volcano Elephant Toothpaste (science experiment) 🦕 (February 11th - 17th) --- Velociraptor (coloring page) and Fizzing Volcano Slime (science experiment) 🦖 (February 18th - 24th) --- Stegosaurus (coloring page) and Stegosaurus Name craft. 🦕 (February 25th - March 2nd) --- Tyrannosaurus rex (coloring page) and Claws craft 🦖 (March 3rd - 9th) --- Brachiosaurus (coloring page) and Fizzing Dino Eggs (science experiment) 🦕 (March 10th - 16th) --- Spinosaurus (coloring page) and paper plate craft. 🦖 (March 17th - 23rd) --- Pterodactyl (coloring page) and Dinosaur Skeleton craft. 🦕 (March 24th -30th) --- Elasmosaurus (coloring page) and Build A Dinosaur (S.T.E.M. activity) ———————————————————————————————— As learners discover and discuss a new dinosaur each week, there will be a coloring sheet for that specific dinosaur to color throughout class. The teacher will attach the coloring page to the classroom for an adult to print out prior to the start of class (the Sunday prior to class). At the end of class learners can show and tell their drawing with theirs friends and teacher; this allows learners to open up socially with their peers. Learners are encouraged (but do not have to) to bring their favorite dinosaur toy to class or wear clothing with dinosaurs on them. ----------------------------------- Please scroll down for 'supply list' as everything your learner will need for class will be found there. **This class will cycle through every 11 weeks.**

Welcome! My name is Jessica (Teacher Jessica). I have my Master's in Elementary Education (multiple subjects)! I have taught in the 6th grade classroom, and as of the last four years I have been teaching here on Outschool!
My teaching experience has given me the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure all students can thrive inside and outside of the classroom. Being an elementary school teacher, I enjoy and have fun teaching in all areas; as you may notice with my class listings I enjoy doing a little bit of everything!
I love to enhance learning development, and to watch each student grow individually. I look forward to meeting your child!
Aside from work life, I have a husband and three little ones! Outside of teaching, we love to be outside in nature, reading is life, and family time is everything!Reviews
