Transportation

We sang the song "Row, Row, Row Your Boat", found words and letters that we knew on a chart, then learned how to fold paper boats.  Look!  It really floats!!

We decided to fill our boat with little bears.  First we predicted how many bears could fit in the boat before it would sink.  Here are our predictions!

34 bears fit in our little paper boat before it started to take on water!  You can see from our predictions that Alex was the closest!

Do you like our buses?  The wheels really do go 'round and 'round!  Look what word we highlighted in yellow, and do you see what we circled in red?  These pictures are in our poetry folders if you want to get a closer look.

As we were discussing what transportation we used to get to school, we read this silly story by Doug Johnson.

Here's our graph of how we got to school.  Which has the most?  The least?  How many less came by bus that by walking?  Why didn't anyone come in a boat?

Here's a sample of our airplanes.

These shape trains were fun.  Can you name all of the shapes?

Here's our transportation center...Passengers needed tickets, someone read the map, and someone was the pilot, driver, or conductor.  Mrs. Brockhaus didn't think of it, but the students also added a 'port-a-potty' to the center.  Throughout the week the "K" Kids traveled to Disney Land, Candy Land, and a boxing tournament (just to name a few).  Don't worry.  They promised to return before school was dismissed!
