Let's Go....Transportation Thematic Unit

With the Scotts Foresman Reading Street Program, I find myself teaching thematic units during random times throughout the year. It's October and I am reading Dig, Dig, Digging by Margaret Mayo to my class. It is a great book and the students LOVE it, but I usually teach transportation around the spring time. I have been in desperate need of some new transportation lessons and activities so I thought I would just create some! My transportation unit can be purchased at my Teachers Pay Teachers store by clicking here.
This unit has transportation vocabulary cards, reading and math centers, graphs, printables, crafts, Play-doh mats, and coloring pages- PERFECT for a theme unit on transportation!!!!

What are some activities you do when you teach transportation?
Enjoy!

Apples, Apples, Everywhere!!!

There is not a unit that I like better than APPLES!!!  Something about it just screams FALL!!!!!  The students love learning all about Johnny Appleseed and having a fabulous apple tasting snack! I always spend my week doing so many fun crafts and special centers! I have compiled all of my fabulous activities, plans, and crafts into a fabulous unit on Teachers Pay Teachers! Here is a preview:
