Congratulations to Teacher Incentive Grant awardee:  

Elisabeth Carlson

Her project is Mathy Moments

Early math experiences are a greater predictor of overall school success (including high school graduation) than reading. Early math experiences also promote social-emotional development Yet, literacy development is the primary focus of most daycare and preschool programs. When math experiences are included, they tend to be of low cognitive demand.
Our purpose is to give young children experiences to develop spatial sense and learn to see and love math in play situations.
