  • Gather students together for the start of the lesson.
  • Display the Vocabulary Card for dinosaur and ask students, "Do you know what a dinosaur is?" Have them give a thumbs up for yes or a thumbs down for no. Say, "A dinosaur is a prehistoric reptile. They were animals that lived long ago."
  • Ask students to turn and talk to share with a partner what they think a dinosaur might have done (e.g., hunt, play, sleep, etc.). Then say, "Today we are going to read a book about dinosaurs. These are silly dinosaurs who practice counting."
