Science & Innovation
Your child can use their senses to safely describe objects and classify them by how they feel, look, or sound (e.g., rough, smooth, loud, soft, shiny).
In real life
Walking on a beach, your child collects shells and sorts them into two piles: "These ones are rough and bumpy, but these ones are totally smooth."
Ages are the anchor. Grade names are Ivy Waters stage labels for this framework, not a claim about any national school system.
