Preschool recently started our ball study. This week the topic is: "Do all balls bounce?" Mrs. H showed children different kinds of balls, we predicted which balls would bounce and why. Kids took turns bouncing the balls. We checked predictions and talked about why some didn't bounce as well as others. They noticed the football bounced all "crazy" . We discussed why and they said it was because it wasn't round like the other balls. Lots of great conversations today!
