DLP students know their colors! We did a "color train" lesson in Trains Go by Steve Light. The kids helped me read such lines as “CHUGGA chugga chugga CHUGGA chugga chugga CHOO CHOOOOOOO!” and “zooosh zooosh ZOOOOOOOOSH ding ding ding!”

Next, we read Freight Train by Donald Crews. The second time through, each student got a board book about colors. I reread slowly to give them time to find each color in their book.

Then we watched these two videos:

Finally, the kids put together a train with construction paper cars and colored in the wheels.Thank you to student volunteer Sharon and parent volunteer Kristina for drawing the locomotives!
