Sharing about our week dedicated to transportation.
We started off with a discussion on what "transportation" meant to the children. While snacking the kids were discussing ways to get around: trains, cars, trucks, boats, planes, helicopters, rockets and more. The kids were so eager to share what they knew about transportation. Some shared about airplane trips to Disneyland, long car trips, seeing a firetruck by their home, and wanting to grow up and fly in a rocketship. 
We discovered that different size vehicles needed different types of wheels. We made tracks then matched pictures of the cars that made the original tracks.
We sought out vehicles in the classroom and raced them all around.
We told felt boards stories.
We made colorful trains.
We read stories related to transportation. A favorite here is Thomas the Train.
We spent outdoors with sand vehicles. We worked on worksheets to show which vehicles were smaller or larger. We learned about road signs and what it meant to them.
This all happened even with our big Wednesday field trip to Emma Prush Farm Park, our Monday park days, our Thursday library trips and all the other learning taking place. We have a busy group here and we all love learning everyday no matter what. Until next week's learning. Follow us weekly and learn along with us.
