We love it when our students have an opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to their every day lives—here they are eagerly interacting with one of the many friendly community helpers in our area.

There are limitless ways to teach preschool math! And while math concepts—number recognition, ordinal memorization, number formation and counting—are important as basic skills, the learning process (and not simply the result) is just as important.

This week for our Body Health unit, one of our dads come in to do a demonstration about how our throat helps us swallow, breathe and make sounds. The students loved the tools, x-ray and video images!
