		<description><![CDATA[It’s not a big secret: most children don’t like math. It’s just not as fun as reading Captain Underpants books, putting together art projects, or running around in gym class.

Last night she came over for dinner and was telling me all about how the kids were really embracing learning about the five senses. Not surprisingly, the kids’ favorite sense is touch.

		<description><![CDATA[Several intriguing theories as to the role of play in early childhood education are worth examining. For example, Maria Montessori, the founder of the Montessori method of education, believed that “play is child’s work.” She meant that hands-on sensory play aids in a child’s ability to learn.

She’ll be taking a few months maternity leave, so we wanted to give her a proper send off. Everyone contributed a few dollars toward a proper baby layette.

Girls are just as intellectually capable when it comes to numbers as boys, but girls’ interest in math tends to fall off in the eighth grade.
