My students loved the activities in this bundle. They thought the airport was the coolest thing ever! We rotate classes in second centers and the students loved getting their passport to come into the room.

Again. Turner Tots has provided a Dramatic Play theme with all the bases covered as to what an airport is made up of to run smoothly. The children loved to travel to the various "destinations"!

I used this resource with my TK students. I used most of them because my students learned the theme: Transportation. I could save time to prepare and my students enjoyed.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.
Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.
