Yesterday as I observed an Early Head Start home-visitor do her magic with a parent and toddler, I heard her say that the activity she had brought taught concepts of physics and algebra. She had three golf balls in a cardboard box caroming off the walls, in the process making neat designs on a piece of paper in the bottom of the box to which she had added some drops of tempura paint. Boy, was I impressed with her reference to math and science! Kudos to her! I thought, of course, of Bill the Math Man and his presentation at our February meeting about teaching math to preschoolers.

You saw the post here first. It ran on these "pages" but, with some minor changes, was subsequently reposted (I had something to do with it) on two other blogs -- viewed 202 times on one blog and 558 times on the other. A very popular post.! Ah, the power of blogging. Our blog -- this one -- is at 2000 site views, BTW.
