Week of January 29, 2018

           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 each center:

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 things we can find at an airport using large pieces of cardboard.

Art- An assortment of shape cutouts and pictures of vehicles will be added to the center.  Students will be invited to reference the vehicles to create their own vehicles.

Science- Students are invited to create airplanes (with teacher support) and then will be asked to predict 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-  Students will be invited to match lettered cars to their corresponding spots in a "parking lot".

Sensory- Sand and water, or play-doh.

Some of the books we will read this week are:
·     Go! Go! Go! Stop! by Charise Mericle Harper 
·     Subway by Christoph Niemann


Reminders
·     Friday, February 2nd   Dismissal is at 12:00 noon.
