Little School Students at Kent School Teach Dinosaur Lessons

February 15, 2014 by Kent School

Share

Parents, friends, and other special guests were invited to the Little School Dinosaur Fair on Friday, February 7. Guests were surprised to learn so much about dinosaurs from their three and four year old hosts. Taking the lead as budding paleontologists, the Little School students guided their guests through games, puzzles, and even a fossil dig. The stations culminated in a pop quiz for the guests who earned tickets for each correct answer. The children were delighted to help with answers when an adult guest was stumped. Tickets were redeemed for entry into the “Dinosaur Museum” where student-created artwork and projects were on display.

Vivienne Falanga, Director of Little School said, “Preparation for the Dino Fair began in January. Each week we explored a new topic associated with pre-historic dinosaurs. We spent time learning about dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods and how dinosaurs changed over time. The children can also tell you about which animals today were also alive when dinosaurs roamed the planet. It is a thrill for them to share all that they learned.”

Parents and other guests thoroughly enjoyed the “Dinosaur Fair.” One parent commented that, “the best part of the Dino Fair was that it was completely led by the children. I was so impressed with their comfort level as they took us through each station and asked us questions. Clearly, they were very pleased to share their expertise.”

Falanga continued, “The Dinosaur Fair and everything we do in Little School is about preparing our students for success in kindergarten and beyond. Activities like these are fun and engaging, they build confidence, and most importantly they make learning a joy. The Dino fair is about collaborative learning and multi-disciplinary discovery. We hope our children remember their “dino” facts. More importantly, we want them to remember how much fun learning is.”
