Mindful Monday: Week 4 Lesson Plans

Our Transportation Theme is transitioning between Trains and Airplanes.  We left all three railway sets open and added the airport to our microcosm, building on how all the transportation systems mesh. 

Here is a look at the general plan for the week.

Monday: Park by the Airport (and RR tracks) to see Airplanes flying over, Draw a transportation picture, How long is a diesel engine?, Plan City Play (with trains, roads, and airport)

Tuesday: Read Planes, Gliders, Helicopters and other Flying Machines (Terry Jennings), Balloon Experiment, The Airplane has Great Big Wings Song, Plan City Play (with Airport), Airplane Concentration

Wednesday: Paper Airplanes, Read Going on an Airplane, Sing I'm a little airplane, A is for Airplane (first page of Letter Book), Packing a Suitcase Activity (with Laundry Day), Airport Dramatic Play

Thursday: Co-op Day - no planned curriculum

Friday: Pilot on the Airplane Song, Oak Meadow Park (They have a full sized airplane for kids to climb around on), Other songs in the car, Banana Airplane Snack
