Taking a trip by plane can be exciting. We go to the airport to take a trip or meet people who come to visit or are leaving us. Many family members visit each other on special occasions such as

Christmas, Summer or Easter holidays. We can look at our calendars to tell the month of the year we will have these special occasions.

BRANDI ARONSON

Introduction: Invite children in the prepared environment to listen to then recite the poem “Airplane in the Sky” Resource Book Pg. 222. Children will then be asked what the
poem is about and will be encouraged to share experiences they have had visiting the airport.

Developmental Steps:

Step 1: Practitioner will come in the prepared environment ready to take a flight for his/her vacation to Jamaica. She/he will have luggage, passport in hand and will be depicting a
happy tourist at the airport wearing a straw hat headed for Jamaica. Students will be asked to tell where they think the practitioner is based on her mode of dress and her speech.
They will be encouraged to speak in complete sentences using SJE.

Step 2: Children will be encouraged to participate in a teacher led discussion about three major special occasions (Easter, Summer and Christmas) when tourists travel to Jamaica
by aeroplane. During this discussion, practitioner will reinforce the months these occasions usually occur and allow children to understand that while Summer and Easter may not
always be one specific month each year, Christmas is always celebrated in the month of December.

Step 3: Using a calendar, students will alternatively show the month or months of the year that we often celebrate Easter, Summer and Christmas time when many persons get
ready for flights.
