I can explain that a map shows places. I can use pictures or drawings to help tell a story. I can use words that describe where things are. I can learn about and identify where people, plants, and animals live and how they live in their environments. I can identify ways that people, plants, and animals are the same and different. I can explore how different objects and materials look, move, and feel. I can learn new words and use them when I speak.
