Living World & Seasonal Awareness
Exploration & Early Science Inquiry
Your child notices that animals and plants are alive, treats them with gentle curiosity, and identifies major shifts in daylight, temperature, and clothing needs.
In real life
Your child points at a bird poking at the grass and asks, "What's he doing?" Later, they see the bright sun and reach for their hat before going outside.
