My Project

Our scholars are starting to explore wheels and the ways everything around us moves. To make this learning experience even more exciting, we've planned a trip to Italy! We'll be flying there, so our first task is to get our passports ready. Once we arrive, we'll visit a bike shop, a tire shop, and end our adventure with a fun outing at a local pizzeria. Through these experiences, our scholars will discover various types of wheels and learn how movement is a part of everything around them.

Our goal is to broaden their understanding of wheels beyond just bikes and cars.

We’ll explore wheels on suitcases, strollers, airplanes, pizza cutters, spinner toys, and much more—all with your help!

Thank you in advance for supporting our scholars as they take their very first "flight out of the country!"
