Object:
a lost and found box with unmatched gloves and other items (write "lost and found box" on the side)
Good morning, boys and girls. Do you know what this is? (Show
the box and let them answer.) It is a lost and found box. Some of
you have seen these boxes at school. My box has some (name some
of the objects and hold them for all to see). I always feel sorry
for a glove that never finds its mate. Have any of you ever lost
anything that later was found in the lost and found box? (Let
them answer.) It's a good feeling to find something that was
lost, isn't it?
My lost and found box makes me think of this morning's lesson.
