Academically, this period is marked by a whirlwind of activity, with children engaging in tasks like math facts practice, reading, and intricate problem-solving. They immerse themselves in progressively more challenging endeavors, such as creating booklets of diverse leaf shapes meticulously colored and labeled or authoring multi-sentence stories complete with illustrations
