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.
