All Aboard!

We learned a lot about Freight Trains today. The book I used is called, Inside Freight Trains by Donald Crews. It is a wonderful book - some of the pages slide open to reveal what is inside each car. We set up a train at preschool. The driving wheel turned into a train with chairs behind it. The favorite thing to do was to punch the train tickets. One of the teacher assistants helped with turn taking (to be the engineer with hat included) and all went swimmingly!! (This group did amazing with turn taking.) 

Here we go!!

Here's the preschool train!

And there was other train playing too.

Getting dressed up, adding cushions, phones, purses, etc.
are all essential for riding the train you know!
