Buses, Bikes, and more.

We had a busy week with wheeled vehicles of every type. We colored, stamped, glued, and painted our favorites.










We read about school buses and bikes. We talked about safety rules, seatbelts and helmets.



We sang "The Wheels on the Bus" daily and rehearsed many fun verses that we acted out together.





The big treat came on Wednesday when we were able to view, touch, and climb around in some very interesting modes of transportation. Our parking lot was full with a firetruck, two police cars, and a tractor and trailer.

Everyone was very attentive as we listened to the owners of the vehicles tell us all about them.

We used our playground time to drive "our" cars, tractors, and bikes around and around.

Transportation: Travel by Water

This week we came down from the sky and looked at traveling the waterways. When asked who had ever traveled on a boat, our friends were enthusiastic to share their tales.














We painted bubble wrap to make the water for our small paper sailboats. We used paper, scissors, markers, and glue to create our own versions of watercraft.



We played a game of Sink and Float one day. This activity gives children the chance to make predictions, observe, and decide if their guesses were correct. Many will try objects over and over to make sure that they really do sink or float.


We're glad that all the boats we've ever traveled on were able to Float!

Almost all our friends have had a chance to share with the "All About Me" bucket. It has been a fun activity for both the child sharing and everyone who listens. Thanks so much to our parents who have dutifully returned the bucket the next school day filled with many precious items !
