Theme for the Unit:
Transportation!
Enduring understandings that the student should have by the end of the unit:
- I use transportation to get to pre-K and other places.
- We use different types of transportation for different reasons.
- Vehicles move in different ways.
- Some vehicles are operated by community helpers such as bus drivers, conductors, firefighters, police officers, and mail carriers.
- There are many ways to stay safe when using transportation.
Lessons and activities for the week:
Blocks- Students are invited to create a variety of ramps and use different vehicles to race, predicting which one will go down the fastest and why.
Pretend Play- Pretend Play will be transformed into a fire station. Students are invited to create a fire truck using large pieces of cardboard.
Art- An assortment of shape cutouts and pictures of vehicles will be added to the center. Students will be invited to reference the vehicles to create their own vehicles.
Science- Students are invited to create airplanes (with teacher support) and then will be asked to predict if their plane will fly, why or why not?
Math- Students will be invited to match numbered cars to their corresponding spots in a "parking lot".
Library- Students are invited to sequence the pictures and retell a familiar story, using a felt board.
