Listening & Speaking
This old man, he played one;
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack, paddywack,
Give the dog a bone;
This old man came rolling home.

“The foundations of math are grounded in
concrete experience such as the exploration
of objects and gradual understanding of their
properties & relationships. The cognitive
concepts…of classification, seriation
(ordering), number, time, and space all
contribute to the gradual acquisition
of math concepts.”

“Giants & Elves”
See the giants, great & tall
Hear them bellow, hear them call
Life looks different from up so high
With head & shoulders clear to the sky
And at their feet they can barely see
The little people so very tiny
Who scurry about with hardly a care
Avoiding enormous feet placed here & there
But together they dwell, the giants & elves
In peace & harmony amongst themselves.

“We have spent years & resources
struggling to teach people to learn,
and yet the standardized
achievement test scores go down &
illiteracy rises. Could it be that one
of the key elements we’ve been
missing is simply movement?”
