Song- Old MacDonald Had A Car

Old MacDonald had a car. E-I-E-I-O. And on this car there was a horn. E-I-E-I-O.

With a beep, beep here. And a beep, beep there.

Here a beep, there a beep. Everywhere a beep, beep.

Old MacDonald had a car. E-I-E-I-O.

(other verses)

wheel(or tire)-spin, spin

steering wheel-turn, turn

window-up down, up down

motor- vroom, vroom

wipers-swish, swish

Book- On The Go by Rozane Lanczak Williams. A fun story to introduce many ways that we may get from one place to another. We may go on a plane, bus, bike, or even on roller skates. Transportation is very important and it allows us to go far away, or maybe just around the corner. 

Activity- Transportation Game

We had a variety of pictures with modes of transportation on them. I read a clue about each one and then each child went up and picked the picture card that matched that.

Some examples:

1. Which one is used for flying in space?

2. Which one travels?

3. Which one carries fruits and vegetables from the farm to the city?

4. Which one travels on the ocean?

5. Which one carries people across the snow?

6. Which one has little wheels that people wear on their feet?

7. Which one travels on tracks?

ABC's focus on reviewing Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, and the new letter Ff.

Counting 1-20 and focus on the #3. We all took turns tracing and writing the #3 on the whiteboard and on the #3 worksheet which we then did at the table.

Square song-review what a square is and sang our song!

Ff- sing and sign and picture cards

Ff- letter craft FEATHERS!
