It was the strongest cyclone to hit land in recorded history. on November 8, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan -- what some are calling “the perfect storm” -- slammed into the Philippines, whipping the low-lying and densely-populated islands with 200 mile-per- hour winds and sending a two-story-high storm surge flooding into homes, schools, and hospitals. It wiped villages off the map and devastated cities, including the hard-hit provincial capital Tacloban. Estimates count more than 5,000 dead and millions homeless.

16 Parents’ Corner

f you read the President’s column on page 2, you were no doubt as excited about WHRo-TV programming in January as we were – as Bert mentioned,i it’s part of the extraordinary legacy of educational television.

Our Town by ornton Wilder The legacy continues to grow, but always April 4-13, 2014 with a view toward our roots in using the medium to enhance and enrich educational Cabaret services. That’s one reason we’re so proud by Kander, Ebb & Mastero November 15-24, 2013 to share with you the results of a Ready to Learn study recently conducted by the Education Development Center and Thomas Nelson Community College’s Department of Performing Arts presents SRI International, which evaluated how three great productions at the Dr. Mary T. Christian Auditorium in technology and educational transmedia Templin Hall on the Hampton campus. resources can enhance prekindergarten

Performances take place Fridays, Saturdays and mathematics teaching and learning. The Sundays. study found that the use of PBS KIDS The Pirates of Penzance content in the classroom significantly July 11-20, 2014 improves early math skills for preschoolers.

www. Tncc.edu Children who used the PBS KIDS math 757-825-2779 supplement, which incorporated videos, digital games, interactive whiteboards, laptop computers, teacher support, and hands-on math materials, improved significantly in their understanding of the targeted early mathematics skills compared to the control group. Their teachers reported significant changes in students’ confidence and comfort with early mathematics concepts and teaching with technology.

We look forward to sharing more about the study – and all of work on behalf of children – in our next Parents’ Corner.
