February 23rd - 26th, 2026: Transportation!

Hello Firefly Families!

This week we focused on transportation and things that GO! We made transportation emergent reader books to practice letter writing, matched pattern blocks in the shape of different vehicles, responded to the journal prompt, "If you could go anywhere, where would you go? How would you get there?", played the "parking lot game" with dice, created name rockets & hot air balloons, and sorted vehicles into different categories of land, sea and sky. Our HWT letter was Z, and we read the books Let's Go For a Drive!Things That Go!The Cars and Trucks Book and some Epic (a website) books on transportation. We also watched "How Do Rockets Fly?" and "How Do Hot Air Balloons Work?" from Sci Kids.


"Traffic Lights Song"

Do you know the traffic lights, the traffic lights, the traffic lights?

GREEN means GO! Yellow means SLOW, and RED means STOP, STOP, STOP!

Always watch the traffic lights, the traffic lights, the traffic lights.

GREEN means GO! Yellow means SLOW. And RED means STOP STOP STOP!
