This week we are going to go back in time, and we mean WAY back to the time of the dinosaurs! We are going to learn about how big the dinosaurs were, how they moved, the different types of dinosaurs, and so much more!
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
