Definition: Someone who contains; something that contains.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
That’s a very good starting point from the dictionary – “someone who contains” or “something that contains.” Let's unpack that word, "containers."
Think of it like this: A container
holds
something else. It's a vessel, a box, a space - anything that keeps things safe and separate.
Let’s break it down with some rhymes to help you see:
A jar holds jam, a lovely treat,
that's a container, can't be beat!
A box for toys, so bright and new,
another example, just for you!
A backpack carries books galore,
it’s a container, wanting more!
So "containers" can mean:
People:
Someone who
holds
or supports others – like a mentor or a caregiver.
Objects:
Things that
hold
things - boxes, bottles, bags, even computer files on your device!
Do you have any questions about this? Maybe give me an example of a container you see around the room and we can talk about why it’s being used to contain something?
