This week was our trip to dinosaur world.  To prepare for our trip we read about dinosaurs and researched them on the computer.  We also brainstormed what we might see at dinosaur world.  We have also been talking about the illustrator Eric Carle in preparation for The Week of the Young Child.  This is a week that is used to promote early childhood programs.  For this, we have painted and recreated artwork that was oringally produced by Eric Carle.  Each child has a piece of artwork that will be displayed at PBI Bank (across from Walgreens) from April 23- April 27.
