Dear Families, We are beginning our next STEM unit on Transportation. We have noticed that children get excited to play with toy cars, trucks, airplanes, and boats, and they spend time at school building roads out of blocks, putting together train tracks, and driving vehicles around on the playground. Children have become curious about different types of transportation they see, how they are made, how transportation works. Please let us know if someone in your family works in a job related to transportation and roads (e.g. delivery person, taxi or truck driver, or any job related to building or repairing roads) and would like to share his or her expertise with the class. We would love to arrange a time for you to join us in our investigations. We are also looking for donations of old license plates to use during the unit.
In this unit we have some main focuses:
As we study Transportation, we will learn concepts and skills in social studies, science, literacy, math, the arts, and technology. We will also be developing thinking skills to observe, investigate, ask questions, solve problems, make predictions and test our ideas. What You Can Do at Home
Some Activities We Have Planned
Thanks for playing an important role in our learning! |
