What is a transportation Fair?
That’s what happens when an excited group of Kindergarteners complete a reading unit on transportation. Parents and community friends joined in the excitement by bringing several types of vehicles for the children to look at, study and even climb on.
- That truck looks really big next to a little girl!
- Excitement brings flight off the ground without any planes!
- I’m going to get up on that tractor. It’s just my size!
Once the vehicles were all parked on the playground, Sister Kathleen reminded students of their task and off they went with clipboards and worksheets in hand!
Students moved from vehicle to vehicle filling in their worksheets. They had to draw the vehicle, count the number of wheels, circle the colors they saw, determine whether the size was L, M, or S and tell if the vehicle was used for work or play. With such a variety of types of transportation, the children had plenty of work to do!
- Who needs worksheets when I can hit the road?
- This is one cool working machine!
- Up goes the recycling truck. It’s LOUD!
- Nothing runs like a Deere!
- Sparky was a big hit!
- The emergency response van had lots of interesting things inside, AND a loud siren.
- This car had many little occupants most of whom loved honking the horn a bit.
- Students were proud to see their parents and their family vehicles at the fair.
- Our friends at the Public Works Department added to our day.
Children drove, climbed, honked and steered their way around the vehicle lot. Everyone had a great time, made lots of noise and learned lots too.
- I’m pretty in pink!
- This is just my size.
- Do you need a license to drive one of these?
- I hope this helmet doesn’t ruin my hair!
- This is a cool place for a driver to sleep.
- How many kindergarteners fit in a giant tractor cab?
- Our firefighter friends had lots to share.
- Little sisters were welcome at the fair too.
- Vroom, vroom!
Time marched on and it was finally time to say goodbye to the vehicles and their owners. All joined for a group photo op with Sparky and then it was back to school.
Who knew that transportation could be such a fun topic?
