The children will begin to understand the concepts of time (past, present, future) and place. We will also be working on a unit about our Earth and recycling. The children will gain awareness of how they relate to their family and community, and understand social roles and responsibilities. We will learn how to keep our Earth healthy, safe, and what we can do as a school community to help.
