ReplyDeleteAmanda,
ReplyDeleteI liked the website you submitted called Early Childhood News. I found the article and classroom ideas section to be useful and I think all parts of this website will be useful for me from time to time. I bookmarked the site, thanks for including it.
Amanda-
ReplyDeleteI liked your resources because I had never heard of 4-H.org nor early childhood news.com. I enjoyed viewing the early childhood news website because it targets both teachers/professionals and parents. I think it is important for both entities to remain informed about any current issues regarding early childhood studies. I think that we can all learn from each other. Thanks again for sharing!
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading OEMP mission statement. They are helping children and families locally and internationally.
