Willimantic, Conn. – The Center for Early Childhood Education at Eastern Connecticut State University is pleased to announce the release of “Investigating Containers,” a new video highlighting the work of teachers at the Child and Family Development Resource Center (CFDRC). “Investigating Containers” explores how teachers engage toddlers and preschoolers in a variety of learning experiences while developing an understanding of the properties and uses of containers. This video features teachers Claudia Ahern, Amy Tyler and Amie Theriault, as well as CFDRC Director Niloufar Rezai.
“Investigating Containers” is the fifth film in the “Investigating…” video series. Each video in the series captures one topic of investigation in the CFDRC, and illustrates how teachers involve children in literacy, math, science, art and other experiences during the three to four months of investigation. “Investigating Containers” was directed by Media Production Specialist Ken Measimer. Communication students Megan Saunders, Sarah Pierce, Amy Dillon, Justin Bedard and Sean Leser were production assistants responsible for shooting footage, editing video and assisting with graphics.
