Paleontologist in the House!

Troy tells Emma, "I am a Paleontologist!"
Troy has been fascinated with dinosaurs for a long time and has even told his previous teachers of his desire to become a Paleontologist. Yes, he is even able to say the word!

For his birthday, I found a great dinosaur project for him; digging his own dinosaur! We were not quite sure how it was going to work out, but at the end of it, he was supposed to have his own dinosaur fossil of a Brachiasaurus. We were a little disheartened, however, when he pulled out a block of a rock, a serrated knife (not sharp) and a brush. We may as well have been digging for a real dinosaur!




We all chiseled away at this thing, but eventually we were finding part of the tail, part of the neck, etc., until he chiseled away at the whole thing! He was so happy to show off the results!
