Transportation

We study Transportation. We investigate both past and present modes of transportation. A great book to begin with is "Transportation Over the Years" by Brenda Parks. This book compares different examples of transportation both past, present, and future.

Songs and Poems

I'm A Little Airplane
(Tune of I'm A Little Tea Pot)

I'm a little airplane

Up in the sky.

These are my wings, (Stick out straight out.)

They help me fly.

When I get excited,

Then I shout,

Come soar with me, (Move arms in a flying motion.)

But don't fall out!! (Drop to the ground.)

Flying
The airplane has great big wings, [Arms outstretched]

Its propeller spins around and sings, [Make one arm the propeller]

"vvvvvv"

The airplane goes up, [Arms up]

The airplane goes down, [Arms down]

The airplane flies high all over town, [Arms outstretched, fly around the room, or just turn in place]
