Spend time in the Mesozoic Era in the Time of Dinosaurs. Meet Dinosaurs from the three Periods - Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. Learn about Earth during each of these periods. Explore the dinosaurs, how they lived, what they ate. We will also learn about Fossils and how they teach us about dinosaurs. See real fossils, including dinosaur bones! Children should bring some of their favorite dinosaurs to class on their assigned day to share with their classmates. We will see a short movie made just for the class every day. We will also make a dinosaur-themed project every day. Children may need some assistance with their projects. I encourage children to participate fully in my classes. Classes are designed for the age group. I keep all of my classes small, so everyone has a chance to share and ask questions. Our class schedule will be: Day 1: Dinosaurs! / We will make dinosaur puppets Day 2: Life in the Triassic Period - Early Dinosaurs / We will make a diorama home for our dinosaurs Day 3: Life in the Jurassic Period - Rise of the Dinosaurs / We will make Design-Your-Own Dinosaur Day 4: Life in the Cretaceous Period - Dominance of the Dinosaurs / We will make Pterodactyl Puppets Day 5: Fossils / We will make a dinosaur bone fossil If you would like another day or time for this class, please contact me. Please have the following supplies for each day of camp: Day 1: Dinosaur Puppet Printouts, safety scissors, tape, glue, markers or crayons, popsicle sticks Day 2: 2-3 sheets each Brown and Green Construction Paper, safety scissors, glue, tape, and a piece of cardboard 8 X 8 inches or larger. (You can cut a piece of cardboard out of a box or use a piece of poster board or foam board.) Optional - pipe cleaners or popsicle sticks or disposable straws. We will make a diorama for our dinosaurs. Please have some of your smaller dinosaurs available so you can size your diorama. Day 3: 2 empty toilet paper tubes, Dinosaur Parts Template Printout, extra paper (any colors), safety scissors, tape, glue, crayons or markers Day 4: Pterodactyl Printout from the class page, tape, glue, markers or crayons, popsicle sticks, string Day 5: 4-5 straws (white works best, but any color is good), 4-5 pipe cleaners, safety scissors

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students should be able to participate in the class on their own. They may need an adult to assist with some projects depending on the individual child. We will be using scissors during some of our projects and an adult should be available to assist. Projects start 25 minutes into the class. The first part of class will be filled with discussion, show and tell, and learning that children should be able to do on their own.
