Trains

Celebrate "Train Day." Read "The Little Engine That Could."
Have the children come to school in striped shirts (like conductors).
For homework, have the children each bring in a box car of a train and something for it to carry. Then, hook the train up (I used strings with paper clips tied at each end) and have the children chant "I think I can" while you pull the train.
Sing Hap Palmer's song, "Clickity Clack" substituting the items that the children put in their box cars in the appropriate place.
Make marshmellow trains. Use pretzel sticks to hook the "cars" together and use peanut butter to glue cheerios on as wheels and other features.
Make a train track from masking tape all over your classroom floor. Allow different children to be the caboose and the engineer. Sing "Little Red Caboose" while you choo choo all over the room.
