"From Seeds So Small" - experiencing math
through music |
CD |
|
|
This is not a CD to
teach math or instruct kids on math facts or multiplication
tables. I did not write any new cute songs to “make math come
alive.” We chose songs that already exist, and we chose them
because they’re good songs and because each one helps kids
experience a different aspect of math. For the most
part, younger children cannot (and I believe should not) deal
with the abstract concepts of math. But songs give them
experiences and that’s what we’re after here. Having had the
experiences in younger ages, they’re more ready for the
concepts later. We’ve never attached songs so closely to
curriculum, so we’d love to know what you think.

here to find a PDF of the CD liner notes where
you'll get more details about how we
understand the song/math connection.

"VISITS TO THE HEART OF EDUCATION: Remembering
What's Important"
by Tom Hunter
A
collection of five essays Tom has
written. They build on what a teacher or a child has said or
done and they are meant to touch the heart and raise issues of
education through story. |
|
|
Already
we’re getting wonderful responses: The Director of the
Professional Development Institute of NY says she would make it
required reading for people in education classes preparing to be
teachers. The Director of a big preschool says she wants
parents to read it because so many of them are “desperate” these
days and need reminders of what’s important. A kindergarten
teacher says she will recommend it for the book study group in
her elementary school. The Director of an early childhood
program bought 10 as gifts for her staff. |
