"The greater danger is not that our goals are too high and we miss them, but that we aim too low and reach them." – Michel...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Multiple Intelligences: What’s the Best Way to Teach Children?
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 25th, 2012
Each of us learns differently. Some like reading books to learn more about a specific topic, others prefer the audiobook, and still others prefer to watch a play. There’s nothing wrong with either of these methods, we simply enjoy different methods because we each learn differently. Thing is, schools focus too much on reading, writing and numbers that the other learning styles are often ignored. For those of you who are unaware of it...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Codley and the Big Storm Book Review
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 14th, 2012
As preschool teachers, we can’t help but grab every book we see with a catchy title or a cool cover page. I personally am always on a quest to find the best books so I can read the story to my students based on our theme. As long as the illustration is good, I always find a way to use it with my toddlers. I can always change the words a bit for their level. A few months ago, I was sent an e-book of the book Codley and the Big Storm...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )
