We took another week to introduce transportation. Last week we came up with the definition of transportation as well as writing it interactively. "The movement of people, animals, or goods from one location to another." This week we continued to break the definition into parts to get a really good feel of what the word actually means. Last week we looked at how people can be moved from one location to another. You saw photos from the last post. This week we looked at the ways animals move from one location to another as well as how goods are transported/moved from one location to another.
This week the students also took breaks throughout the day to help me share our work on our bulletin board. We first posted the definition of "transportation" and added the illustrations of things that move people from one location to another.
Then we posted illustrations of ways animals move from one location to another.
We then posted how goods are transported or moved from one location to another.
Lastly we realized we needed to add the word transportation on the boards so everyone knew what the definition and illustrations were defining. The students came up with the idea to make the letters out of things that help people, animals, or goods being transported from one location to another.
Check out their ideas.
Also, this week during free choice, the students began making a "Train Station Hotel". Word is that they want to name it "The Kindergarten Station".
We left it standing so the students can continue adding to their station.
Signs were made to label different parts of the "Train Station Hotel".
You might notice the train and it's passengers!
I hope you all have enjoyed your weekend and for those of you that have tomorrow off, enjoy your three day weekend. Take care and I look forward to sharing more next week!
