Doing more with Transportation

Car Spelling Song

On the road to Spelling

When teaching it is important to use as many senses as possible. Here is a way to use music to practice spelling words.

“Car, Bus, Van” song (Tune: Jingle Bells)

C-A-R, C-A-R that’s how you spell car

B-U-S, B-U-S that’s how you spell bus

V-A-N, V-A-N that’s how you spell van

Transportation helps us, I hope you understand!

Sing the song several times so they feel successful and can spell the words.

Car Play with Ramps
Help your child set up a ramp and watch the cars go.

1. Which cars go faster?
2. Which cars go further?
3. What happens when you change the angle of the ramp?
4. What happens when you change the surface of the ramp?

I asked questions such as.. if you were going to divide your cars into teams, what teams would they be on? Why? How many do you have that are cars? trucks? how many of blue or orange or ??? We weighed them to see if that would help determine who went the fastest. We guessed how would go the fastest. we experimented with ways to “protect” the boulders.

suggestion by the author: If you take digital pictures you can turn this experience into a book. Have your child help to label the pictures and soon he will be able to read his own book.

Forms of Transportation

we started to make a time line of transportation. I’ll use this link as a idea place. ๐Ÿ™‚
We started with walking, and progressed to swimming. ๐Ÿ™‚ (yes I know that’s not an official mode of transportation, but YOU try convincing a six year old that it’s not a valid form of getting around?). ๐Ÿ™‚

We did a thing with links… figuring out solutions to problems using links and clues given. It was interesting how it all turned out.

    I enjoyed reading your Car Play with Ramps section. Have a 5-yr-old that loves playing with cars, I could really appreciate this.

    Stopping by from the Carnival of Homeschooling 300th Edition.
