My child will be studying public transportation: what it is, how it came about, why people use it. He will also study our local bus line, where it picks up and drops off, and how much a ride costs. He will then plan a trip to the library via the bus. Once planned, he will make the bus trip to the library with an adult and two friends as a field trip.

• The child learned vocabulary related to public transportation such as bus, pick up, drop off, and ride.
• The child learned how to ask and answer questions about the local bus line, including where it picks up and drops off.
• The child learned numbers and currency by understanding the cost of a bus ride.
• The child practiced giving and following directions while planning the trip to the library.
• The child learned vocabulary related to the library, such as books, reading, and librarian.

• Practice role-playing scenarios related to public transportation, such as buying a bus ticket or asking for directions.
• Engage in language exchange activities with native speakers of the foreign language who use public transportation regularly.
