Transportation

Unit of Inquiry Transportation

Central Idea:
We use different kinds of transportation to move things from one point to another. People get from one place to another in different ways.

An Inquiry into:
Types of transport
Reasons people use one form of transport over another
How these forms of transportation work
The different means of transport for the different purposes.


We will discuss why we use transportation and how it can help us. Our house center is now the "transport" center. We will learn transportation vocabulary and become familar with various street signs and the meaning of saftey on the road. We will be making our very own buses, cars, trains and airplanes using empty boxes and recycle material.
Please send in your empty boxes this month!

Sing with us:
" I'm a little piece of tin, nobody knows what shape I'm in, Got four wheels and a running door.......what am I? A CAR......
Honk ,Honk, rattle rattle, crash beep beep, honk honk, rattle rattle, crash beep beep( repeat three times).

Merry Christmas!

I SEE AN IGUANA LOOKING AT ME!!!

Blind Man's Walk

The Blind Man's Walk-Working in pairs, one student was blindfolded and had to carefully lead a blindfolded student around the park. After being blindfolded, we discussed what it felt like to not use our sense of sight and we shared what we heard, felt and smelled on our walk.

Can You Hear The Bell?-One child is blindfolded. The teacher rings a bell to signal to the blinded student where she is. The blinded student needs to feel around the room and walks slowly towards the sound of the bell using only their sense of touch and hearing.
