We started off the week planning our train. We read research books (we have read research books about trains for over a year. Cedrik loves them), The Train to Glasgow (my grandma's maiden name!), I'm Taking a Trip on My Train, Train Trip.
The next day Cedrik and Freddie were both Engineer Porter. They also acted as conductor. They traveled to Boston, Lake Baikal (in Russia), Canada, South Africa, a Subway in New York City, and Japan. Cedrik especially loved driving a maglev train (magnetic levitation train) and he knows why they travel faster than all other trains (they don't have wheels and they float above the track).
They ate lunch in/around their train, complete with the brown paper sack two days in a row. He learned even more parts of a train. We also made a train track. This week was a HUGE hit.
