Week of January 22, 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.
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:
· Whose Vehicle Is This? by Sharon Katz Cooper
· Things That Go! Collection by National Geographic Kids
