The Dinosaur Expert
The Dinosaur Expert | Margaret McNamara
1 post | 1 read
Join Mr. Tiffin and his students on a trip to a natural history museum and learn all about dinosaurs and the scientists who discovered them! Mr. Tiffin and his students are back in another picture book, and this time the focus is on dinosaur-loving Kimmy. During a field trip to the natural history museum, Kimmy is thrilled to share what she knows about the Stegosaurus and the Archaeopteryx and even the ginormous Titanosaurus. That changes when one of her classmates questions whether girls can be paleontologists. Kimmy starts to feel shy. What if they can't? What if no one wants to hear what she has to say? It will take some help from Mr. Tiffin--and from a famous scientist--for Kimmy to find her voice again. Join Mr. Tiffin's class as they learn about dinosaurs big and small, feathered and scaly, winged and ocean-dwelling. And root for Kimmy, the dinosaur expert . . . who might just learn something about herself.

This RF picture book by Margaret McNamara and illustrated by G. Brian Karas would be a great book to discuss famous women and their achievements as well as Dinosaurs! Kimmy loves dinosaurs and knows a lot about them, but on a trip to the natural history museum with her class a boy tells her that girls can‘t be scientists. After this she becomes shy. Will anyone be able to make her open up again? Maybe the class teacher, Mr.Tiffin, can!

CPettersen This book would best be taught using an RA. UDL strategies 2.7 and 3.1 should be utilized to teach students prior to or after reading the story about dinosaurs and famous woman archeologists. Also EL strategy 29 should be used to allow students to go and look up topics further for increased exploration and learning. #UCFLAE3414f19 https://www.teachingbooks.net/clp.cgi?master_id=62058&lf_id=9 (edited) 5y
haleyklein This looks really good! I can‘t wait to give it a try! 5y
DrSpalding This would be an excellent book to read aloud. It teaches science concepts through quality children‘s literature. Please do this in your future classroom. 4y
