Goodbyes are bittersweet. So proud of all the hard work and accomplishments of my Preks. Distance learning was hard but we made it fun. 🥳Sorry/not sorry for crying online today. @hcpss_woes @HCPSS_ECP @hcpssdse #endofyearcelebration #iwillmissthem #mykidsarethebest

Great idea to support learning with everyday objects!

[Erikson Early Math @eriksonmath]

This game played with a hula hoop and bean bags demonstrates all the MATH that can be explored with a simple tossing game.

Imagine how it can be adapted to the home setting...
