Understanding Long and Short
Hello little explorer!
Today we're going to learn about long things and short things all around us! Some things are tall like giraffes, and some are short like bunnies. Let's discover together!

Parent Tips 🌟

- Nature walk: Compare sticks and leaves you find outside - which is longer?
- Building blocks: Build towers together and compare which is taller (a form of length!).
