🚦🚗🎉 Kindergarten Transportation Day Show & Parade! 🚂✈️🚜 What a fun day in kindergarten! Students celebrated Transportation Day with a special Show & Parade, proudly sharing their creative transportation projects. As part of their learning about force and motion, students explored how pushes and pulls make things move, how wheels help vehicles roll, and how we travel by land, air, and water. Our school was full of creativity, curiosity, and big smiles. Way to go, kindergarten scientists and engineers! 🚦✨
