Kids and Computers

I am a huge proponent of parents reading books to their children, but there is also a great value in allowing kids to become fluent on the computer. There are some fabulous educational games for a kindergartner's skill level. Mrs. Macias has several linked on her protopage.

Dr. Jean's Rock, Rhyme, Write, & Read

I'm really looking forward to attending Dr. Jean's Rock, Rhyme, & Read! Everything You Need from A to Z! seminar in February. Dr. Jean Feldman is a best-selling author that is a kindergarten teacher's dream! She has written tons of useful materials, but better yet, produced many songs and videos to use with students. She has a great way of blending fun and creative play with learning. I'm grateful to be given to opportunity to hear her present. I can't wait to learn from the master! Click here for a youtube video she has posted to parents with tips for developing strong readers. And here is one of the class's favorite songs.
