Today’s Tuesday Teaching Tip is brought to us by CKA Past Co-President, Ada Hand.
This art work comes from preschool teacher Domenic Manchester in San Francisco. He took his students on a field trip to see the “Painted Ladies,” famous San Francisco Victorian homes. The children took part in an integrated unit of literacy, mathematics, and art that helped them to see and pay attention to their environment. Domenic’s teaching is inspirational!
