Box Study

FOCUS QUESTION

Our focus question for the week was what can we do with boxes? Here are our answers:

Blake - "we can deliver them"

Wren - "we can open boxes"

Clark - "you can build a house out of them"

Townes - "you can put your toys in them"

Luke - "you can make a mountain with them"

Liv - "you can cut them and make a rocket ship"

WHAT CAN WE CREATE WITH BOXES?

The children put their creativity and imaginations to work while coming up with ideas on what to do with their box. The boys chose a monster truck and the girls chose a princess castle. They were given various supplies to use for decorating. They had a blast doing this activity which promotes taking turns, working together and sharing materials and ideas. The boys thought the princess castle was cool and the girls enjoyed the monster truck!

EXPLORING THE VISUAL ARTS

Visual art experiences include painting and drawing. The more children are able to experiment with various media, the more they are able to express their ideas through the visual arts. Each child was given fingerpaint paper inside of a box. They got to choose their paint colors and create their own masterpiece. They will be on display for parent/teacher conferences.
