Ideas and Innovations In Early Childhood Education and Care is a think tank based in Watertown Massachusetts founded by Theodore (Teddy) Kokoros in 2018. All researchers and contributors to Ideas and Innovations In Early Childhood Education and Care are either teachers or parents of young children. While early childhood education and care is getting more attention from politicians and the media, too often those shaping policy and discussions related to early childhood education and care are not the people who are more directly involved with the work. This think tank’s goal is to share the research and perspectives of people who work directly with young children.
For the past 2 weeks in my PreK class, we have been doing a favorite book bracket tournament. We started with 16 books and then had book battles where we would read the books and vote for our favorite in a NCAA March Madness style bracket. Today it finally came to a conclusion with “No David” by David Shannon being the winner by a 12-7 margin. See the whole tournament results below.
