BOX STUDY UPDATE!
HOME CONNECTION
Thanks to all the families that came to our holiday concert! The kids really enjoyed performing for you! They did such a terrific job and it was a lot of fun! / We have been exploring boxes for the last few weeks!
So far we have learned:
* Boxes come in all different sizes, shapes and colors.
* Some boxes have words on them and some do not.
* Many types of things come in boxes & you can put different things into boxes.
*Bigger boxes can fit more objects in them than smaller boxes.
This week we will be hypothesizing how boxes can be moved and then test out our hypotheses!
