The Wheels on Our Bus!

We like to laugh while we're learning, and this week we began by playing with the sounds in eachother's names. It got pretty silly!

We read Pete the Cat: The Wheels on the Bus. Then we practiced singing the song using our names! We focused on using the first sound in our name to make our own silly verses. 

His name begins with a D,
so his bus says "Dumpity Dump"

We set to work making our own buses!

We added the first letter of our names with a foam sticker ... 

... and completed the wheels on the bus poem!

This project gave Mrs. Beliveau an opportunity to get to know the kiddos better. She got an extra peek at the children's abilities to follow directions, cut, print, and glue, as well as several other work habits, such as perseverance, problem-solving, and time management. 

Look at our amazing work! Careful, though ... this little tune can really get stuck in your head!
