I love education.com I think they have great activities to do with kids and they can all be modifies according to age group. I also liked the jamaica observer letter. I found it fantastic that they are working on training teachers and funding better education programs for four year olds.
ReplyDeleteKalisa,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog it's so colorful and fun. I can see you have a love for Jamaica. I read the Jamaica Observer article you posted and it's very informative. Thanks for posting it.
I absolutely loved the article on Early Childhood Education needing more funds. The outside individuals do not understand how much of an impact the preschool and young ages of a children's life, that they spend in school is very important. I also like that some people are not afraid to speak out to try and get what we are looking for, which is more focus and money on the early childhood field.
ReplyDeleteKalissa,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing the website Education.com I have bookmarked it and plan to come back again and again. I love that it has worksheets, and all kinds of information broke down by different age groups.
