Animal Homes Match-Up Game!
You’ll get two sets of fun cards from your teacher—one with animal
pictures and another with places where animals live. Look at your animal
cards with animals like camels, elephants, and penguins. Then look at your
home cards showing deserts, forests, and oceans. Try to match each animal
to its best home. When you finish matching all your animals to their homes,
try to find the reason that helps them live in that place.

weddings. They produce seeds that can further grow into new plants.

04 Parts of a Plant
Plants are all around us, but have you ever noticed their different
parts? A plant has two main parts. One part is above the ground and
is called the shoot system. The other part is below the ground and is
called the root system. Each part plays an important role in helping
the plant stay healthy and strong.

Activity Time
Initiative and Self-Direction
Let's grow a plant together! Take a small cup and fill it with soft soil. Choose a
seed and gently place it inside the soil. Add a little water to help it start
growing. Water the soil every day. Watch your seed become a tiny green
sprout, then grow into a bigger plant. Remember, plants need water and
sunshine to grow strong. Draw pictures of your plant at different stages.
Share your plant's story with your friends and show how you helped it grow!
