| Description |
Bring a team to explore topics such as Motion, Alike & Different, Change, and How Things are Made and Used as content areas to model how you can bring science, math, and literacy together as you help young children learn. The workshop will be filled with hands-on activities and ideas for observing and assessing children that teachers can use immediately. The Texas Early Learning Standards will be used as a framework for providing curriculum and assessment strategies to support learning in the areas of mathematics, science, and literacy.
