THE TRANSPORTS
 INTRODUCCTION
This Unit is made for children of 5 years old, for three week time, two days
a week, in sessions of 45 minutes each one. Children are in continue
movement, they need to do significant activities, where they can touch,
manipulate, etc., and they need to work with their body, in this way they learn
more easily, so I have prepared this unit with creative and funny activities.
I think that this topic is interesting for children, because they are
surrounded by cars, bikes, buses, etc. and therefore it is easy for infants to
recognize them. Children won´t have difficulty for to learn this topic because
they already know them in Spanish, and through transport we can teach more
things, as colors, forms, numbers, so children learn concepts together.
Through this unit I will work different skill for children to learn to
communicative between them, from simple forms, so that they can make
progress and learn vocabulary in a globalized way.
