NOT a BOX.... Box Study

We read the book Not a Box by Antoinette Portis. The children were given paper with a box on it, and they had to turn it into whatever they wanted. This is one of my favorite activities because it shows each child's creativity.

What did WE do with boxes?

What a fun filled week we've had answering our focus question what can we do with boxes? The children were divided into three groups. Boxes were chosen, ideas were voted on, and the creativity began!

Group 1 Race Car: Emory, Marcelino , Rett

Group 2 House: Easton, Lily, Emilee

Group 3 Airplane: Grace, Milo, Quinn, Georgiana

After two days of constructing they were finally able to play in their own boxes as well as their friends creations.

Special Visitor

We were so lucky to have Mr. Butler from UPS visit with our class and help us follow up with our focus question, "which jobs involve boxes". Mr. Butler talked with the kids about different boxes, what they can hold, how UPS ships packages, safe driving, and much more. The kids absolutely loved it! Thank you, Mr. Butler!

Q is for QUILT!

This week our class made a quilt together and each child got to design and decorate their own square. On Friday during circle time I put all the kids name in jar and Ms. Diane picked one name out that would get to keep the class quilt. Our LUCKY winner was....

Different Boxes

During one of our circle time this week I shared several difference pictures of boxes. We discussed what they were made out of, what they could be used for, and how different their size, shape, and colors were.

Tooth Fairy

We had a special visitor come to St. James this week. The tooth fairy came and talked with our class about taking care of our teeth and she even sprinkled us with a little a fairy dust to help us remember the things she taught us. Thank you Twinkles & Ms. Jordan.
