Sprinkling Joy with Cascarones (Confetti Eggs)

Spring is in the air, and that means it’s time for fiestas!  A fun part of many Latino celebrations is the tradition of making and cracking cascarones.    The word cascarón comes from the Spanish word for shell, cáscara.  Cascarones are decorated eggshells that are filled with confetti or small treats.  They’re crushed above people’s heads to shower them with good luck or affection.  These festive confetti eggs are popular in […]

They have designated spaces that encourage imagination, stimulate creativity, and challenge students to think and problem-solve. Learning Centers, on the other hand, […]

Observation, Assessment, Evaluation – Oh My!

Preschoolers are fun to watch – just ask any new mother, father or proud grandparent! A young child’s awkward attempts to try new things or early efforts at conversation can be captivating.

The word “assessment” comes from the Latin word meaning “to sit beside and get to know.” It’s […]
