Beep, Beep! Transportation Things!

Last week we did our unit on transportation.  I'll post just a few pics of some of the things we did.  On Friday, we had our annual Transporation Day where we go to stations within the school to learn all about transportaion.  Outside there are TONS of different types of vehicles that the kids can climb on and look in.  Mrs. Lee even got to go up 70 feet in a bucket truck.  Yikes!  What a fun day.  Oh, the best part is we get to see a hot air balloon in person, how big it really is, go inside the balloon and hear some cool facts.










These are our cute little Whamburger's that we made after we read Max Takes the Train from our reading series.  I got this adorable idea from a friend at work.  


 Here are the pages from our Transportation Fact Book.






Here is part of our class alphabet book that we made after reading Alphabeep!
The pictures they drew turned out SO DARN CUTE!  
We used watercolor crayons for the pictures.








A few of our centers from the week.

    Hi- I just found your post on transportation as I was looking for some new activities. I checked your TPT store and didn't see the unit. As I have read the above comments I know a lot of people have asked for you to email the activities and I don't know if you are able/willing to still share them but if you are it would be greatly appreciated. My email is ldebbie1110@comcast.net . If not, I totally understand. I have purchased some of your other products and I love them! Thanks!!
