Dinosaur Mural and more....

We have been learning all about these fascinating creatures from long ago. For instance, we can tell you which dinosaurs were bipedal and which dinosaurs were quadrupedal. We can tell you the difference between a carnivore and an herbivore. We can also tell you what a sauropod is and what paleontologists study. Ask a second grader to educate you about these extinct animals!

We worked so hard on this mural, we are ver proud of it!
