3. Illustrate what is learned in this lesson about Tryannosaurus Rex.
Have four blocks to draw in.
First block label and draw a picture of Tryannosaurus Rex’s “head.”
Second block label and draw Tryannosaurus Rex’s “claws.” (Remember they had two hand claws).
Third block label and draw Tryannosaurus Rex’s “legs.”
Fourth block draw again a Tryannosaurus Rex.
Switch paper and see the similarities and differences in one another’s drawings.
4. Learn a spiritual lesson about God’s creation of Tryannosaurus Rex.
Tool 1: Bible
“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord? 2 “Can you put a rope in his nose Or pierce his jaw with a hook?” (Job 41:1-2)
In the Hebrew the creature is called a “Leviathan.”
The description of the “Leviathan” sounds like a dinosaur.
The point that God wants to make in talking about “Leviathan” is that we cannot control it and yet how much more so we cannot control God.
We should trust in God.
Tool 2: Questions
From what we learn do you think other creatures can easily control the “Leviathan” or a Tex?
We need to know God is more powerful than us or a T-Rex; do you believe God is all powerful?
The Domain for Truth 
What a dangerous creature! Like a shark on land! I was curious about how fast T Rex ran so I googled it. Of course it’s all speculation, but previous estimates have come way down over the years. The reptile’s top running speed may have been about as fast as a human’s. Well, they were hauling up to 32,000 lbs. with each step.
That’s a good point: Shark on land! I like that! I wonder what the steps sound like with that much weight. Wonder if it took more than 10,000 steps a day…how’s your steps thus far this morning? I hope to be able to make it today faster since I will
Be back on the roof!
Steps? Argh! Only 5.6K. I’m working from home from now until my last day, so I have to be more disciplined about my walking. Be careful on that roof!
As always, great for the grandbabies!

Aww I can picture grandkids surrounding you! How many do you have?
2 so far but praying for more!
Here would be my lesson— they were big, mean and would eat you— but what tiny little arms— I’ve never cared for dinosaurs— I blame Jurassic Park 🦖
Fascinating how tiny and almost useless their arms are; almost as if God reminds us no matter how strong we are, everyone and everything has a weakness. I might be the most strangest millennial: never saw Jurassic Park! I imagine you won’t be teaching this lesson to the Sheriff and the Mayor anytime soon lol 🏃♂️🦖How is the Sheriff by the way?
I’m here in Atlanta in order to take them for their check up at the pediatrician— they are both good- today- tomorrow, who knows!!!
Oh the mayor saw that dreadful Godzilla movie— not only does my son love his super hero’s— Jurassic park and Godzilla are right up there— I can’t earn either!!!!!
I can’t stand either- blast phone typing!!!
Back in ‘my day’ I don’t remember being so taken in by T-Rex. Kids today sure are.Thanks for the info.
Yeah it does seem T Rex is more popular today. I emailed you last week, did you get my email?
Did you get mine..thinge have gone south since then

This is awesome, brother, I’m going to share it with my homeschooling communities! Thank you, my friend. I still can not believe they’ve found tissue inside these fossils. It’s a good thing Jurassic Park was based on faulty premises or else they’d be creating T-Rex’s for zoos right now! 🙂 Looking forward to our discussion today.
Yeah I’m amazed at the discovery of actual dinosaur tissues! If
Jurassic Park was real this would
Be what I am doing: 🏃♂️…🦖
Hahahahaha hahahahaha this is my favorite comment I’ve ever read!
Telephonic Interpreting Services
Hassle free and cost-effective telephonic interpreting services
When an interpretation is conducted over a phone with the help of human interpreters, it is referred to as telephone interpreting. This over-the phone interpreting is essentially helpful, when two or more individuals participating in a meeting (usually a telephone call) do not share a common language and require an interpreter to bridge the communication gap. Telephone interpreters listen to the conversation carefully and then interpret each and every word from the spoken language to the target language for easy understanding by the listener. Since the availability of this service is dependent on the requirement and needs no prior notice as in pre-arranged interpretation, it is also called as on demand telephone interpreting.
I’m surprised how long these things live for. The Tyrannosaurus had a life span of around 30 years.
Two of my grandchildren are just going to love this 🍃
Awesome!! I also have a second grader that I homeschool.
