Week
of January 30th, 2017!
Theme
for the Unit:
Transportation!
Enduring
understandings that the student should have by the end of the unit:
·I use transportation to get to pre-K and
other places.
We use different types of transportation
for different reasons.
·Vehicles move in different ways.
·Some vehicles are operated by community
helpers such as bus drivers, conductors, firefighters, police officers, and
mail carriers.
·There are many ways to stay safe when
using transportation.
Lessons
and activities for the week:
Blocks- Students
are invited to create a variety of ramps and use different vehicles to
race, predicting which one will go down the fastest and why.
Pretend Play-
Pretend Play will be transformed into an airport. Students are invited to
create an airplane using large pieces of cardboard with teacher’s support.
Art- The
teacher will provide recycled materials (e.g., boxes, empty and clean food
containers) as well as tape and/or glue and invite children to build vehicles.
Provide pictures of vehicles for the children to reference and encourage them
to develop a plan for building before they begin. Have them consider what they
will make and what materials they will need.
Science-
Students are invited to create paper airplanes (with teacher support) and then
asked if their plane will fly, why or why not?
Math- Students
will be invited to match numbered cars to their corresponding spots in a
"parking lot"
Library- Students
are invited to sequence the pictures and retell a familiar story, using a felt
board.
Writing/Technology-Weekly
learning games on iPads are provided.
Sensory-
Sand and water, or play-doh.
