Transcription

1 of All Kinds In the Air, On the Land, or In the Water My Truck Is Stuck Domain: Language, Cognitive, Socialization Goals: Child will increase the number of spoken or signed words in his/her vocabulary. Child will identify objects pictured in the story. Child will use memory skills to correctly match objects. Child will take turns. Child will identify modes of transportation. Child will answer what and where questions. Materials: Cards (pp ) Air, Land, or Water grid (p. 79) Air, Land, or Water picture (p. 80) color C/D scissors glue Velcro lamination (optional) Story Board (p. 14) Instructions: Activity 1 (transportation identification) Copy the cards and the Air, Land, or Water page. Cut out the cards and the pictures of the air, land, and water from the Air, Land, or Water grid page (the whole page will not be needed for this activity). Laminate for durability. Put Velcro on the back of each card and picture. Be sure to use Velcro that is the opposite texture from the Velcro on the Story Board. Set the storyboard up by putting the Air picture on the left side of the first strip of Velcro, the Land picture on the second row, and the Water picture on the third row. Tell the children that they will be learning about forms of transportation (things that go). Explain that transportation is a way to get from one place to another. Use the picture cards on the Story Board to explain that we can fly in the air, ride on the land, or ride on the water. Begin by showing the transportation cards one at a time. Identify each card by its name (train) and where it travels (on the land). As each form of transportation is discussed, place it on the correct line (put the train on the line with picture of the land). Once all the cards have been discussed and placed on the board, review each line by asking: 77

2 Suggestions: What flies in the air? What rides on the land? What rides in the water? Now, take all the transportation cards off the board. Leave the Air, Land and Water cards in their places. Select a transportation card (train), hold it up and ask the children What is this? Where does it go? Ask a child to place the card in the correct place on the board. Continues in this manner until all cards have been sorted. Activity 2 (small group activity) Copy one Air, Land or Water picture page and grid page for each child. Be sure to run an extra copy of both pages to use as a model. Cut out the pictures from the picture page and put them in a set, one set for each child. Be sure to do this prior to beginning the activity. Tell the children that they will be learning about forms of transportation (things that go). Explain that transportation is a way to get from one place to another. Use the air, land and water pictures (on the side of the grid) to explain that we can fly in the air, ride on the land or ride on the water. Select a picture (train), hold it up and ask the children: What is this? Where does it go? Demonstrate where to glue the picture. Have the children find their picture and glue it in the correct answer box. Continue in this manner until all the pictures have been glued in the correct answer box. Reduce the number of cards (forms of transportation) for younger children. Have the children who have advanced cutting skills cut the pictures. Have the children complete the grid page independently and use as an assessment. Use the IWB CD and import the graphics to make the activity a large group activity. For the large group activity: give a child the land picture and have the child go to the transportation center and bring back a toy that would go on the land. Have children take turns retrieving toys that would go on land, air or water. Story Time Teaching: As the story is read, pause on several pages and ask if they see a form of transportation (something that goes). Have the child identify the form of transportation and where it goes. 78
