Back to School with Dinosaurs Week 3

Beginning a new school year means making new friends and seeing old friends again. While children are busy learning classroom routines, they're also practicing and developing social skills. For this reason, the focus of week 3 of the Back to School with Dinosaurs theme is friendship. In addition, children continue to work on prewriting and prereading skills, counting to 10 (or even 30 if they're ready), recognizing and writing the numbers 1-5, and building their vocabularies with school-related words and literature. This week's dinosaur color is blue and the dinosaur shape is a triangle. Check out the links below to get started planning another fun, friendly, and fascinating week!
