Transportation Centers

Hey y'all!  Well, I have 3 more days until my Spring Break officially begins...what about you?  I'm so excited...mainly because that gives me a week to hopefully catch up on some house cleaning and organizing plus I hope to do a few fun things with the fam!  

I wanted to show you our transportation centers that we worked on some last week and finishing them up this week.  I couldn't get in all of my themes for this time of year so I just squeezed transportation into my morning baskets.  :)  You can find them HERE.  My literacy and math baskets have community helpers centers that I hope to blog about later in the week.  And you can find those HERE

This one we've done before with a different theme.  I still have a few kiddos that have trouble looking at these double digit numbers and ordering them by 5's.  So, we are still practicing.
My kids are getting SO good at addition that they really don't need me at all.  Some are simply recognizing the facts and knowing them without using manipulatives.
I shared this at my presentation a few weeks ago because it is one of my student's favorites.
I made these little roads and color coded them with a dot.  They use the little car manipulative to drive and read the word.  How fun is that?!
Here, they had to read all of the words and pick out the rhyming words.  I started doing some rhyming games like this last school year so they were having to read more words and listen for rhymes. 
Unscrambling sight words...
More subtraction...
teen number words...
What comes next?...
ordering numbers...
and counting by 10's.

That pretty much sums up our transportation centers.
You can find all of these games HERE in my Transportation Pack.
I haven't given away my Transportation Unit yet, so leave a comment below and I'll choose a winner tomorrow.  :)
