Week
of February 6th, 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- Vehicle
Shapes The teacher is going to supply an
assortment of shape cutouts and small vehicles. The teacher is going to invite
children to reference to the vehicles to create their own vehicles. Before
children begin working, the teacher is going to encourage them to look
critically at the vehicles provided and to think about what shapes they will
need in order to make their own.
Science-
Students are invited to create paper airplanes (with teacher support) and then
asked if their plane will fly, why or why not?

will be invited to match numbered cars to their corresponding spots in a
"parking lot"

board.
