Dragon gets a letter from his friend Victoria, a T-Rex who is on tour at the Houston Museum of Natural Science! We travel there with Dragon to visit her and along the way learn all about dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles. Our friends at the museum, Matti and Kelsey, lead us through a touch tour of different dino-related artifacts, show us how paleontologists identify and classify different prehistoric creatures, and teach us how to really walk like a T-Rex. Back in New York, we write about and design our own dinosaurs (and prehistoric reptiles!) with Donnie!  Downloadable Transcript: https://bit.ly/LWADinosaurs Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dL5PigBjvCU This episode made in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science: https://www.hmns.org/  Let's Write About is inclusive children's show taking a born-accessible approach to media while exploring social-emotional themes through poetry, creative writing, and song.     Support Let's Write About: https://donniewelchpoetry.com/support  Educators, free lesson plans connected to the episode: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Lets-Write-About & A short survey to help improve the show's educational value: http://bit.ly/LWAEducatorSurvey  Parents & Caregivers, take this survey to help make the show even better! http://bit.ly/LWACaregiverSurvey Connect with the show: https://linktr.ee/LetsWriteAbout Subscribe for a new show each month!   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   “Let's Write About” is fiscally sponsored by Accessible Festivals, a 501(c)(3) non-profit  organization committed to making recreation and leisure accessible to all abilities.  https://www.accessiblefestivals.org/ Music by Dane Page http://www.danepagemusic.com/support Captioning by Level Up Time Studio https://www.leveluptime.studio/ Visit my website for more info and to learn how to book me! http://www.DonnieWelchPoetry.comFollow me on Instagram @DonnieWelchPoetry https://www.instagram.com/donniewelch...

A swirling whirling poem about how it feels to get a creative idea, or one too many creative ideas.  "Tornado Brain"   Tornado brain!  Tornado brain!  I hope it doesn’t start to rain!  I’m scared of lightning,  I’m scared of thunder,  and rain in my brain  would be a real blunder.   Tornado brain!  Tornado brain! I hope I don’t get blown away! My head’s so clouded up with thoughts I can’t remember what I forgot Tornado brain! Tornado brain! Swirling dreams I can’t contain.  They pick me up  and spin me round topsy-turvy upside down!  © DonnieWelchPoetry 2019-2021 Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/KHtS-oU3ECs
