I never knew the cmc room was even in the education building, or that it even existed. Its pretty cool that they have the letter cutter that anyone can use. It would have made my life so much easier on past projects I had for school. I really enjoyed seeing the different kits they use in the elementary and middle school classes. I think I enjoyed playing with the blocks a little too much. The fact that they have to be cautious of parents who try to use the teacher’s editions of the text books to help their children in school is just sad. When did the work day become too long and grueling for a parent to take five minutes out of their day to explain to little suzie or johnny how to do long division? I really don’t see myself needing or using much of wht is in the cmc room, but I do think it’s great that all those resources are there for the whole community to use. Im not sure how the tutoring program works, outside of what the lady told us today, but I would like to learn more about it, and it seems like an idea that could both aid the community and give education students some valuble experience.
