  2. Introduction • Second Grade • Our thematic unit on dinosaurs will be taught over a course of five consecutive days in a second grade classroom. The curriculum on dinosaurs will focus on a variety of subjects, such as reading, science, mathematics, and writing. For our lessons we plan to cover a broad over view in dinosaurs, including how we know about them, types of dinosaurs, and how they lived.

  3. Objective 1 • Students will discuss and explain the history and lives of dinosaurs and will gain an understanding about why they no longer exist and how we know about them today.

  4. Objective 2 • Students will apply and demonstrate their mathematical skills such as determining and estimating lengths in inches and centimeters by measuring the bones of dinosaurs. • CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.A.1 • CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.A.3

  5. Objective 3 • Students will learn how to conduct interviews and formulate and develop questions. • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.2.1 • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.2.1c • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.2.4 • Gardner’s linguistic intelligence

  7. Schedule For The Week

  8. Tuesday (Activity #2) • Create own dinosaur • Measure body parts • Write three statements

  9. Wednesday (Activity #3) • Fieldtrip to Dinosaur State Park; Rocky Hill, CT • The Park features over 500 Early Jurassic dinosaur footprints preserved in place inside the museum, alongside interactive exhibits about dinosaurs

  10. Friday (Activity #5) • Write an article for Dino-Times • Prompt: “From your experience as a paleontologist at Dinosaur State Park, argue why studying dinosaurs is important. Use your knowledge about dinosaurs to help you.” Dino-Times

  11. Evaluation • By their articles • Rubric • Evaluated one a one to five scale They will receive: (1)- Shows minimal understanding of information, little creativity and effort (2-3)-Demonstration of substantial understanding of information, some effort and creativity shown (4-5)-Clear understanding of information, able to apply information successfully & creatively, outstanding effort
