April- Transportation Nation

¡Transportation Nation: Invent Something With Wheels!
¡Natión de Transportación: Inveta Algo con Ruedas!
As busy parents, teachers and niños, we are all constantly on the move! Wheels help us to get
from point A to point B every single day. From strollers to bicycles to cars, wheels are integral in
transporting us! We observe how wheels roll, stop and go everyday and will use our
observations to create our own inventions that incorporate wheels. By the end of April, we will
have created our own wheeled inventions. Who knows? Perhaps we will race a few of them!
