📚 Topic Summary
Movement is all about how things change position. Observing movement means watching how something moves – is it fast or slow? Straight or curvy? Describing movement means using words to explain what you see. We can use words like 'speed,' 'direction,' and 'pattern' to describe how things move. Let's get started!
