Dr. DeLeo came back into our classroom for another adventure in science! We already knew that there were
dinosaurs and other animals on the Earth a long time
ago that are no longer around today. Many of us even
knew what the word “extinct” means. It means
that those plants or animals no longer live today -
they all died. |
|
|
|
| |
|
Dr. DeLeo set up special magnifying glasses in the room. They make things look real big when you look through them. Dr. DeLeo tried to scare us by looking at us through one of the magnifiers, but we don't scare that easily! We used the magnifiers to look at the fossils, rocks, and animals bones that Dr. DeLeo brought in. When plants and animals that lived a long time ago die, they sometimes become hard like rock. These are called fossils. |

Dr. DeLeo visited each of the Kindergarten classrooms. The pictures below show Mrs. Gawlik's AM Kindergarten class first, then Mrs. Gribbins's AM Kindergarten, and finally Mrs. Gribbins's PM Kindergarten.

| Our teacher, Mrs. Gawlik, had fun looking through the magnifiers at the fossils and rocks as well. She was very interested! |
