We started our transportation week out with a discussion
to see what the children knew about transportation. Each child was able to provide us with
something that they knew about the subject.
We read a wealth of books on the subject but the class
favorite by fare was I Stink! by Kate and Jim McMullan
We even had the children put items in a glass jar that we
would normally place in the trash to see what would happen if we never took out
the trash. (I only stayed in there for
about 4 days before we opened it outside to take a smell) No picture sorry.

We even did some without numbers so that the children had
an opportunity to write numbers
and add numbers

Wow! It seems like you had a really interesting and multifaceted week, huh? That’s amazing that the kids liked “I Stink!” and were able to learn about waste management. Another twist to try is the connection between transportation and management of wastes. For example, we can talk about how garbage trucks are the most necessary vehicles for keeping our communities clean. Just as you depend on professional towing services when your vehicle has problems, effective waste removal also requires special trucks for efficient handling and disposal. This is quite an inventive means of linking together transport concepts with ordinary amenities!
