On the Road and In the Air Week !

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.

Children retelling the story The Seals on the Bus at the magnetic board.

During small group we did a variety of activities like

Counting cargo boxes on trucks

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

and add numbers

We sorted by the beginning sound

We drove in the snow

Pocket chart stories are a wonderful way to get your students actively involved in the story telling process.  When using pocket chart stories it helps to bring the stories alive and capture the attention of the students.  Students are able to participate in a hands-on way as children are able to move the text around to create different versions of the same story.
