To worksheet or not to worksheet?




Should kindergarteners be using worksheets to learn math and science skills? How much are children learning about money by color circles with $.1? I think they learn a whole lot more about money by counting real money than they do by color circles with numbers.

Children should be learning about how plants grow, how to count money, math concepts (i.e. adding and subtracting), and other life skills by doing the skills with their hands rather than coloring worksheets or timed math tests.
