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
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!)
