π Understanding Big and Small Sizes
Learning about "big" and "small" helps us describe the world around us! π When something is big, it means it takes up a lot of space, like an elephant. π When something is small, it means it takes up only a little space, like a tiny ant. π We use these words every day to compare objects and talk about their differences in size. It's a super important skill for young learners to develop!
