We had a trucker visit my class today. That's right. He brought his 18-wheeler and parked it in our bus loop. My kids got to learn all about trucks and climb in the truck, and watch it get hitched up and unhitched from its trailer. It was incredible.
In preparation for this activity, I read a book to my students about trucks, called "Truck" by Donald Crews. And then, I had them brainstorm questions. My students have gotten really good at asking questions. Everyday when we do the sharing bag, we have them practice their "wonderings" instead of making random comments. I was really, really impressed today! They all asked questions, and they were really good! Here are the questions they asked,
1. What do you carry in your truck?
2. What do you do?
3. How do you drive the truck?
4. Are you handsome?
5. Do you ever drive in the spaghetti bowl?
6. Do you have to change gears?
7. Do you play with toys in your truck?
8. Where are you going next?
9. How long is your truck?
10. Do you take a bath?
11. Does smoke come out of your truck?
12. What's your favorite color?
13. How many tires do you have?
I was really impressed that so many of the questions were so on topic! At the same time, a few of those showed their true five year old colors. The kids LOVED the trucks! Even after we were done, they kept saying, "That was so cool!"
