The children have shown a great interest in transportation and the differences in vehicles; so I created a lesson plan to take their curiosity and turn it into a learning opportunity. I have created several hands on opportunities to have the preschoolers experience a school bus, car and bike to see how they work, to calculate wheels, and investigate how they work and how they are built. According to Ohio's Early Learning and Development Standards I covered Approaches to Learning in addressing their Initiative and Curiosity to the subject, Cognition and General Knowledge in using mathematics, counting and understanding of number spoken can be related to amount of objects and finally I used Data Analysis and collection of data by categories to answer simple questions. After we have explored many means of transportation we will take a pictorial survey and find out which vehicle our classroom likes best and create it ourselves. By the end of the lesson our children will be able to distinguish many forms of transportation using pictorial representation, word representation and creative works.
This QR code will direct the parents to a google doc asking for recyclable materials for our classroom to create different forms of transportation. It will also encourage them to engage in this activity at home with their children and encourage them to play together.
This activity can be played on a Smartboard or computer link as embedded in this blog. It uses any pictures and gives you an opportunity to choose different sizes of puzzle pieces. I chose the largest piece for this age group however I would make it more challenging for those children who wanted smaller pieces.

This activity I would use as a post assessment activity for our small groups to obtain comprehension of vocabulary used, pictorial representations and overall concept of transportation and the varying vehicles that concept encompasses.
