Our First Think About!

Welcome to our Technology blog for grades one and two at Valentine Hills Elementary.  This will be a place to find out what we are doing in technology AND add your thoughts too!  

Every week, you will find a "think about" posted here.  These are meant to help you exercise your creative and critical thinking brains.  If you would like to earn a CARES coupon, please respond to the prompt, and post your first name (no last names, please) along with your teacher's name.   Here's our first post:


Yes, this is a dinosaur's chin!  Actually both of these pictures are life-sized replicas  of dinosaurs that live at "Dinosaur Hill" in Rapid City, SD.  Please write at least one sentence sharing your thoughts about what you think life would be like if dinosaurs still lived on earth with us.    Hmmmmmmmm.......

    Comment: We could ride them and have them as pets. Instead of bike riding we can ride dinosaurs to all our friend's houses.

  14. Poonam in Ms. Scanlon's class says:
    If they were really alive, I would get a pet T Rex. Then I could go to school without my bus. And, I will play with him all the time. When he dies, I will get another egg for a tyrannasaurus and another one. I don't know what it is, but I will! When it's morning, I see that it came out of the egg and then I saw a triceratops! The triceratops is going to take me to the carnival show with dolphins and another dinosaur. I wish I could have it!

    It would be horrible. We wouldn't have a place to live, because dinasours is like eating everbody's houses and people, or laying their babies in the houses. They would be cool to look at though.

  16. Gabriel from Miss Krohn's class says:
    If we saw a T-Rex walking by our house, I would scream as loud as I could and I would hide in the thickest blankets I have. Oh, and I would go out with hunters and shoot the T-Rex and eat it.

    (comment from the mom: sorry so graphic)

  17. Daniel in Ms Karpe's class says if I saw a T-REX I would kill it,and get its genes , and compare its genes with humans' genes. I want to find out what is the difference between its genes and our genes.

    [The mom says it is not neccessary to kill it if you just want to get genes from it.]
