 Room 402 at James Otis School has been
studying dinosaurs and fossils for the past few months. This sixth
grade class has enjoyed learning about what it takes to go on
a dinosaur expedition to the Sahara Desert. While learning the
history and geography of dinosaur expeditions, these students
have also had experience digging their own `fossils' from rocks.
At the moment they are creating their own dinosaur and fossil
books. These books will contain information learned from reading
various sources. Also, these books will be written in two languages,
English and Spanish. At the end of the unit, the students of 402
will donate their newly made books to a first grade bilingual
classroom (Room 206). Later in the year, the sixth graders will
mentor the first graders in their study of dinosaurs.
