Dino's Galore!

Today we had fun dancing with Kate, in between our learning in class.  Mrs Ray brought a dinosaur egg to put into water and see what will happen.  Ayla-Grace was our star of the day and when she dropped the egg into the water it floated for 3 seconds, plopped under the water, bubbled and sat on the bottom.  
What do you think will hatch?


We had Tuesday problem solving today and here was our problem.  Mother Triceratops is giving each of her 5 baby Triceratops new horns. Each Triceratops has 3 horns each. How many horns does Mother Triceratops need?
