Discuss with the students different ways to get to school. If available, read “To Town” by Joy Cowley with the class. After each child has come up with a way to go “to school”, help each student decide whether to use the page that says “…on a _____.” OR “…in a _____.” Encourage students to use inventive spelling to fill in the blank and illustrate their pages appropriately.
