Dear Parents
This study will build on children's experiences with wheels and expand their knowledge about wheels. They will observe, gather data, and explore their community. A study of wheels also offers a meaningful way for children to use skills in mathematics, literacy, the arts, and technology as they learn important concepts related to physical science and social studies.

ALL ABOUT WHEELS
Small Groups-Morning, Noon and Night' Compares and Measures
Possible/Expected Discoveries- Try to do this with your kids
- Wheels are circle shapes. Wheels have been very important to people for a long, long time. Just imagine if we didn’t have wheels, there would be a lot of things that we could not do. Can you think of something we could not do if wheels were not invented?
- Many vehicles have wheels. Can you think of any things that go that do not have wheels? Maybe rowboat, hot air balloon, canoe.
- Some things have 1,2,3,4 or more wheels. Let’s make a list of everything we can think of with 4 wheels. (Do we count steering wheels? Or gears? Wow, it’s up to you!)
