Balancing Technology: A Lesson for Preschoolers

Preschoolers from Mercyhurst Child Learning Center were given a glimpse into the world of technology, discovering its wonders and limitations. In a recent class, young minds learned the definition of technology and explored various examples. But it wasn't all about celebrating technological advancement; the class also delved into the importance of knowing when it's time to hit "GAME OVER" and explore other engaging alternatives like board games, going for a walk, and reading.

Students got creative with a math activity. They created creatures by rolling a dice to determine how many heads, eyes, mouths, arms / legs, and tails their creatures would have then drew them with the specifications.
