Parents, We have a science area in our classroom. Children learn to explore by using and observing the items in this center. We have a collecton box on the shelf for items that are found in nature. For example: leaves, rocks, insects (not alive), cones, seed pods… You can be helpful in this learning process by bringing in these natural objects. As you and your child collect things during the year, have them bring the items to add to the box and share with the classroom.
Thanks so much for your help, First Steps Academy 7 To promote self-confdence in each child To have children improve in cooperaton and unselfshness in play.
