Developed in collaboration with Microsoft for Learning Essentials, these tools offer solid instruction from the popular, research-based Write Source series of writing programs.

childhood kindergarten learning

shared by Steve Ransom on 28 May 09 - Cached

  • Finnish children similarly have a lengthy and playful childhood, not beginning formal schooling until age 7. Yet Finland consistently gets the highest scores on international exams.

  • Crisis in the Kindergarten describes the current state of public kindergartens in the U.S. as “a national disgrace.”
