• They may have gained an understanding of the local history and landmarks in their neighborhood.
• The child may have learned about the history of transportation and how scooters have evolved over the years.

Physical Education

• They may have learned about the importance of wearing safety gear and following traffic rules.
• Through physical activity, the child may have developed cardiovascular fitness and endurance.

Social Studies
