The El Monte-Rosemead Adult School recently invited parents of students attending Los Angeles Universal Preschool classes to the Granada Child Care Center for a math and science fair.
"Parents of children enrolled in Vicky Gonzalez's class were invited to spend time with their children exploring fun math and science activities," said assistant principal Sara Shapiro. "Some of the math activities included sorting paper and plastic fish, measuring, creating patterns and counting. Science activities included planting seeds and exploring nature."
According to Shapiro, the children also enjoyed "the sensory fun of touching and feeling slime, rice, blubber and moon sand."
Refreshments were provided by the cafeteria to the more than 100 parents and children that attended and each child received a book for their participation.
The El Monte-Rosemead Adult School Los Angeles Universal Preschool program is now accepting applications for September enrollment. A number of openings also are available in the regular child care classroom.
