Is Math Still Hard? A New Focus for Teachers


  <http://app.streamsend.com/public_images/60591/images/hopscotch_300.jpg> 

Even babies are sensitive to numbers and shapes, and math can be a valuable part of every curriculum. Your early literacy program should include both letters and numbers. There are many, very natural ways of introducing numbers: setting the table for snack, counting the crackers, finding just the right size block to span the bridge. Mathematics is everywhere in the early childhood classroom. 
     However, simply pointing out numbers and mathematical concepts throughout the day is not enough to enrich children’s math knowledge. New research demonstrates that a better approach to math literacy is focused, intentional teaching. Take the children’s natural interest to the next level -- help them stretch their mathematical learning.

Sparking Creativity     <http://app.streamsend.com/public_images/60591/images/file0001861746521.jpg> 

Is creativity declining in America? A recent article in Newsweek <http://app.streamsend.com/c/12401153/656/Co9u2Ee/DRAC?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsweek.com%2F2010%2F07%2F10%2Fthe-creativity-crisis.html%3Futm_source%3Dstreamsend%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_content%3D12401153%26utm_campaign%3DJuly%25202010%2520CounciLINK>  indicates that may be the case.

      One likely reason may be the increasingly sedentary lifestyles for young children — wise teachers know how to nourish the sparks of creativity inside every child using movement, music, dramatic play, and art, among other things.
