'It's very important to teach that whole child and that social, emotional piece. So, are they emotionally happy? Do they feel safe when they come to school? Are they having fun, you know? They're babies, so we're teaching them, and they're learning, but we're being fun about it. They have to get up and move,' said Alyse Wienecke, a classroom teacher at the Elizabeth Lee Black School preschool.
The rest of the week includes 'Work Together Wednesday,' 'Artsy Thursday' and 'Family Friday.'
