EXPLORE: building train tracks with bridges and turns, driving trains around tracks
LITERATURE: "You Wouldn't Want to Work on the Railroad" by Ian Graham
"Train Song" by Diane Siebert (a book read to the rhythm of a train chugging down the tracks)
We drew a large map of the United States and placed train tracks from Nebraska to California.
MUSIC: continued with our surprise song
PROJECT: cutting, folding, painting, assembling, gluing = 3-D model of a train engine
QUESTIONS to ask your child: Who worked on building the railroad? Where did the train start and end? (Nebraska to California)
