Transportation

Transportation: Going Places

I tried a color by number train today for the older children. At first it was kind of confusing for them, especially since we haven't talked about numbers yet, however they seemed to catch on quickly. We have also been practicing "looking" for letters in our name. And also we started coloring grids to make patterns.

My favorite book to read is a fun rhyming book that the kids pick up on fast is, "Bunnies On the Go" by Rick Walton. It cover about every type of transportation there is to use from getting from place to another. We made a map of water, roads, sidewalks, and air and took turns choosing magnetics of different types of transportation to place on our magnetic map. Then, we made our own maps and used stickers of the different types of transportation to stick to it.

Color Review

We had Rainbow Fish crackers for snack today. We separated, grouped, and made patterns with them before eating them. Then we made eggshell leis with the different colors that we learned, by sewing a shoe string threw the shell. Some of the children were able to sew every other way to form a pattern. I was well please they figured that out by looking at my pre-made one.

For a game, we choose different animals and repeated the known poem Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see, and by answering with a different colored animal with each turn. The kids love picking different animals each time. It was a lot of fun.
