Balls Study
Dear Parents
Our first week studying balls has been a blast! Our students have shown great interest exploring our new unit. They have started investigating by playing with them, asking questions and experimenting how different types of balls move. We have used real balls as prompts to stimulate ideas and answer our focus questions of the week: “What do we know about balls?” and “What do we want to find out?” As we explored different types of balls, we pointed out compound words such as football and basketball. Children were also encouraged to sketch the balls they liked best as they explored our collection as well as categorize the ball collection.
Wellness discussions were also encouraged during our Circle Time. We have talked about heathy food options. Thank you for helping us have extra healthy lunchboxes this week! We also had a special Yoga Class with Ms. Dani where we practiced being peaceful.
As a family connection, we encourage families to talk with their children about their favorite childhood ball games. In addition, we invite your child to bring a ball to school to contribute to our classroom collection.
Have a wonderful weekend,
PK 3 Team
