Have your child read the passage below out loud:
Sue the T-Rex
Today is Monday, August 12th.
On this day in 1990, a fossil hunter by the name of Susan Hendrickson saw some big bones jutting out of the dirt.
The bones were part of a tyrannosaurus rex (T-Rex) skeleton. It was named “Sue,” after the woman who found it.
Sue was the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found at that time, and she helped us understand a lot more about T-Rexes.
Today, Sue's skeleton sits on display at a gallery in Chicago.
This is a true story!

Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What day is it today?
