All Aboard! – Train rides for more exploration

What child ( of all ages) doesn’t love trains, magical. When David and Isaac were very little, we boarded the Cascade passenger train that travels along the Sound from Bellingham to Seattle. We stopped at Everett, not more than 60 miles, for just a taste of a ride. Grandpa met us at the end of our line and drove us back home. I had as much fun as my grandkids did. 

Sharing a real ride might be a little difficult right now. But you can still take a  virtual trip. Here’s one from Switzerland to Italy. Very scenic. (Just skip the ads.): 


After the ride, visit this site below. It’s really great for your youngsters, ages about four through seven. The stories are read from real books, pages turned. There’s about 15 stories with related activities. If I had known about this, we would have had more hours of fun.

B & O Junior Junction: Very cute! Your students will love it! Easy to access. New content added weekly. And - Yes! It is FREE!
