Hey there! So, "carry over" is a term that we use when we're talking about something that moves from one place to another. It's kind of like how when you're playing a game of hot potato, and the potato gets passed from one person to the next.

In school, "carry over" can mean a few different things. It can mean moving something from one lesson to the next, like if we don't finish talking about a certain topic today, we might "carry it over" to our next class. It can also mean taking something we've learned in one subject and using it in another, like when we "carry over" math skills to help us solve science problems.

Also, in the real world, "carry over" can mean taking something from one year to the next. Like, a baseball team might have a really great season, and that success can "carry over" into the next season, giving them a boost of confidence and momentum.

So, to sum it up, "carry over" basically means taking something from one place or time and moving it to another. It's like transferring something from one container to another or extending something into the future. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any other questions!
