Just Sayin': T is for Transportation

This was one of my favorite weeks of school because we got to learn about planes, trains, and cars! All of my favorite things at one time!

We tore up some paper and sorted it by color. Can you guess what we were making?

Yep! A traffic light!

Then we sorted all kinds of different transportation by which ones went on the land, in the air, and on the water.

We wanted to find toys that matched those categories as well!

We have lots of vehicles to choose from!

And, of course, this turned into some time driving on the roads! We talked about pushing and pulling and how that made things go.

I worked on a helicopter puzzle for a bit.

I was so proud of my finished product! That was hard work!

This was pretty funny. Mommy drew on our table! She drew a road and a car park.

But not just any car park. There were numbers and math facts in each space, and Riley Cates and I had to put the right number of cars in each space! I have asked to do this several times since then! It was so fun!

Then we painted with cars.

It was so cool to see their tracks in the paint!

Of course we had to make our own car wash after that!

Since our letter for the week was T, we practiced writing the letter outside with chalk. Yes, it has gotten quite chilly here!

We also made some things that fly in the air. We painted a hot air balloon,

And we made our own airplanes.

We did a little experimenting with ramps. We predicted which things would roll best, and then we changed the height of the ramp to see if that would change anything.

Yay for TRAINS! This was a hard one. The wheels of the train were the letters of the alphabet, and I had to put them in order. It took me a while, but I got them all on there!

And my reward was to play with Thomas and his friends!

We love cooking projects,

So we made traffic signal cookies! Well, really we made M&M cookies but made sure to include red, yellow, and green in the right order on a few. Any excuse to make M&M cookies, right?
