This week, Miss Carrie brought a box. What is in the box? It's something that bounces. Everyone guessed what it could be. There were balls in the box. How many balls did Carrie have. She had six balls. We counted how many kids we have in the class. Sometimes we had enough balls, and sometimes we had to find more balls. What can we do with the balls? We practiced bouncing and catching (this is a skill we mark in the DOT data). We rolled the ball, bounced the ball, and caught the ball. We talked about what color ball we had. If we wanted to trade, we could ask a friend.
