[quote=Anonymous]My 3 year old has been learning a lot in his DCPS classroom that uses Tools of the Mind. I don't know if it is directly related to the Tools curriculum, but I'm impressed with the pace of his learning. In the first few weeks he went from drawing random lines to being able to draw a stick figure of himself. The parts of the curriculum that I see most at home are the graphics practice and play planning. I don't know that it is helping with his self-regulation though. His teacher seems to like the curriculum and is applying it consistently. It's only supposed to be used through Kindergarten. I don't entirely agree with PP about the head start statement. While we did (and do) read to our son a lot, and sang the alphabet, etc, we didn't really teach letters and certainly didn't teach addition or subtraction. I don't think it is a pre-req when introducing the program to 3 year olds. [/quote]
