Making Learning and Teaching Fun! with Dr. Jean

It seems that we're so busy trying to give children things we didn't have when we were young, that we are failing to give them what we did have. The more time young children spend in front of a screen, the more educators and parents are going to need these hands-on activities that Dr. Jean shares with us.

In the "Making Learning & Teaching Fun! with Dr. Jean Feldman" series, created by Region 13, we learn that simple nursery rhymes, songs, finger plays, and hands on activities are the very things that the brain research says that we need to continue to do with children.
