All aboard!

Last week Ms. Danielle planned neat activities focused around Trains. One of the main focuses was setting up the wooden steering wheel with chairs behind it as a passenger train. Add a conductor (with hat and vest), train tickets, passengers and you have yourself a passenger train ready to travel!
The children really enjoyed it. Ms. Danielle helped with turn-taking because everyone wanted a chance to be the conductor and hole punch the tickets of the passengers. 


ALL ABOARD!!

The train is ready to leave the station.
What happened after this picture taken was pretty cool. If passengers were tired or hungry, their every need was met. "Beds" were available for sleeping. (Play) food was provided and I believe there was even a bathroom. :) 

The main part of wanting to be the conductor was hole punching the tickets!

Both groups really enjoyed it.
