Dinosaurs and Mammals

<Originally Published December 3, 2013>

Dinosaurs were alive when people weren't alive.  And... ummm... they, for the last time I am saying, that dinosaurs and mammals were not alive at the same time.  Today, there are two dinosaurs, the crocodile and the alligator. 

Now, mammals have been now alive now.  People are mammals.  There are lots of mammals.  Living in the wild, if your a fox, you can only make four cubs in the wild while if you are a female.  Female foxes in the winter, they are snow white.  In spring, they match the color of the sky.  <<What color is that?>> Light blue.  In summer, they need to be their normal size.  Their normal size and normal coat.  In fall, their coat starts to turn red. 

So, now you know about dinosaurs and mammals.  You can just check on here.  And also, I have a blog!  For the last time, dinosaurs and humans are not on the real fossil, because their bones are different. 

OK.  And also write, ... nevermind.  Give me a break now.  That's all!




<<I have no idea how these three items ended up together or how Ben came to the conclusions he did.  When I asked him how he came up with this week's blog, he told me it was "because my brain is working, it didn't turn to mush!"  I think that pretty much sums it up!>>

<<Ben's teacher, Mr. Kevin, commented on the original post:

I should tell you that I pretty consistently tell the kids that their brains are like muscles and they must exercise them or they will turn to mush. We also watched a Bill Nye video about dinosaurs as sort of a treat or culmination to the non-fiction unit on animals. I know that it brings in a whole new set of questions and information that I couldn't fully explain to them, but we will keep on trying to suss out these mysteries together.>>
