Trains
June 20th 2009 05:24
This week is train week if you haven't already guessed thanks to The Little Engine That Could - the classic tale retold by Watty Piper. Trains feature in a number of other tales we hold including Tootle and Thomas The Tank Engine - both on dvd and book form in our household.
Teacher Vision had a number of activities and printables that related directly to The Little Engine That Could but as we are not located in the States we were unfortunately able to only access three as part of their free giveaway.
About.com assisted with a variety of printouts including a train based version of tic tac toe and a fun train visor for us to make.
Random House had some Thomas related colouring pages and for those fans of Thomas and James, DLTK came to the aid in the way of an easy paper craft.
We are going to attempt to make our own train although my favourite activity for the week is this easy animal train. It gives us some variety on our discussions and we can look at some of our favourite animals while making our train.
For younger readers, we also stumbled upon a number train worksheet.
And our song of the week - I've Been Working On The Railroad of course. Toot Toot!
