During the Spring of 2000, I taught a dinosaur unit to my 1st/2nd grade class at Park View Lutheran School in Chicago, IL.  I had so much fun, that I decided to collect my links and create a webpage for all my dinosaur ideas.  I've given my page a new look (thanks to Pat's Graphics) and added a few new links!  Enjoy!
