![]() The STEM posters spark new ideas, activate background knowledge, and/or challenge students to build something they may not have thought of. The posters have real photos which is so inspiring for students. In the blocks center, I added different types of transportation figures, transportation books, foam boards (green represents grass, brown represents dirt, blue represents water), and S TEM Transportation I Can Build challenge posters. You can grab my All About Ramps science unit from my TPT store HERE. Students engineered different ramps exploring many physical science concepts such as speed, incline and balance. I posted real photos of ramps, books about ramps, sketch paper and cove molding (ramp prices). I like to have the same theme all over my classroom! I took the transportation theme to the science center too by doing a ramps study. I made these letter rocks using stones from the Dollar Tree. I added the letter rocks to infuse some literacy. By using counters, students will also naturally sort the objects too as they create!įor a transportation theme, I usually make the sensory table into a construction site with diggers, gravel and tubes. Blue represents water or the sky, green represents grass and black represents a road. I also added clean gems (clouds), tiny popsicle sticks and play dough. My transportation play dough tray is mostly transportation counters. >Grab the FREEBIE by entering your email in the box at the bottom of this blog post!>Grab the FREEBIE by entering your email in the box at the bottom of this blog post!<< Students identify the number, make the corresponding number of play dough balls and drive the car on the road to trace the number! I found these cars at the Dollar Tree. It is tricky but so much fun.įreebie alert! Road Number Mats are the perfect play dough mat for a transportation theme. Students compare the objects and order them by height. Grab any vehicles, planes and trains you have and tape a line to the table or floor. Student A opens his eyes and guesses how many are hiding based on how many planes they can see on the board. Student A closes his eyes and student B hides some, none or all of the planes under the cloud. “How many are hiding” games are a fun way to teach informal subtraction. ![]() A great way to do this is to add tweezers to this game! The tweezers are called Gator Tweezers. I’m always trying to find ways to sneak in fine motor everywhere I can. If you have younger learners who need work with one-to-one correspondence, have them put one truck per one hole. ![]() ![]() Students roll the die, count out the corresponding number of mini eraser trucks and place in an hole. Truck roll and count is a low prep, hands counting game your students will love. This post contains affiliate links which means I earn a tiny commission when you use my links at no cost to you.
