🦖 We had a FULL HOUSE for yesterday’s Dinotopia class! 🦴

Our amazing students stepped back in time to explore the fascinating world of fossils, became archaeologists during an exciting hands-on dig, and got to explore our interactive room!

From discovery to digging, it was a day full of **learning, adventure, and a little prehistoric fun!** 🦕🔎

We loved having this curious crew with us! ❤️
