Parents' Comments

Parent #1
These were difficult to answer...I'm not sure any of the answers were correct. This is typical - the teacher has kids help her make a graph of the temperature outside over the last week - they talk about that. In centers, kids work on skills such as counting by two's. Kids have free play that allows them to choose a variety of activities - some are math-based, such as slotted shapes or Legos. So...all of these areas are taught in many different ways.
