Motorcycle Doodle

For school in June- each of the boys got to plan their own unit study. Doodle picked motorcycles. One of the things he'd planned was to go for a motorcycle ride with Grandpa. He finally got to go on his ride Monday night. (and hasn't stopped talking about it since!) Here's Doodle with my dad ready to ride.

Gotta get the helmet on- ready to go!

Here's a few pictures of the lapbook he made along with his motorcycle study.

Front Cover- a gas tank he designed, a helmet, and the paint job he wants on his future motorcycle. (When his wife says it's okay- he can have a motorcycle. lol)

Center- parts of a motorcycle, left- old motorcycles (opens inside to show modern motorcycles)right- costs of various types of motorcycles (opens to show more costs)Top fold up page- map of a route he'd like to take. (they didn't take this route- but it was a good exercise in map reading, finding roads, north and south etc) middle page- How an engine works.

fold down page- motorcycle menu (what you eat after riding motorcycles lol) and - acrostic poem on motorcycles

Center pockets- motorcycle safety cards and types of motorcycles.

And of course- any good school day has to include a game that Doodle invents. (with mom's phonics or math twist in it) So here's motorcycle gas tank alphabet reading game. lol- Rules- roll the dice-read the silent e word- move your gas tank along the alphabet game board- whoever gets both gas tanks to the Z first is the winner.
