Beep, beep . . . I love kindergarten! How much fun are these fabulous 4 year olds!? The first project this year was about school buses and how to use materials properly. We read the story School Bus by, Donald Crews to help jog our memory about all the details buses have. We then generated a list of must haves for our buses.
Once students got to their seats, I walked them through basic cutting. We trimmed the corners of our yellow triangles to make the curves of the bus. We turned a 3"x 12" rectangle into windows by cutting down the middle two times. We then added a door and glued all these parts on day one. Day two was devoted to decorating the bus by outlining the bus and windows with black crayon, using oil pastels for the people in the windows, and stamping on lights using red paint.

We wrapped up the lesson by making an interactive bar graph. Each child contributed to their graph by placing a rectangle on the mode in which they get to school. We then drew observations from the data afterwards.
