Social Studies

• The child learned about different types of birds and their habitats.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore more about birds by observing them in their natural habitats, visiting bird sanctuaries or local parks, and participating in bird watching activities. They can also create bird feeders or birdhouses to attract birds to their own backyard, and learn about different bird species through books, documentaries, and online resources.
