LEARNING OUTCOME: Upon completion of the unit, the Pre-K

like, what shapes do you see on these boxes (shape), which box is
heavier/lighter (weight), which box is big/small (size), what colors are the
boxes (color)and does the box feel bumpy or smooth (texture)?

TESTING CONSTAINTS: The only testing constraint is that only one child will be able to visit the block area at the time of assessing. There will not be anyone in the area but the child that is being tested and the teacher. I will also impose two of the same size boxes, but in different areas to see if students will notice that the boxes are the same size.
