Healthy Snacking with Allentown's Fruits & Veggies Mobile

Preschoolers and school-age students attending LVCC's Judith Chase Early Learning Center got their first taste of summer. Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowksi and the Allentown Health Bureau invited the children to the 2013 opening of the city's fruit and vegetable truck.

Fruits & Veggies on the Move is designed to promote access to and interest in fruits and vegetables among children. LVCC was the first stop on the city's list of destinations throughout the summer.

Among the favorite fruits served, cherries and mangoes!

Wells Fargo Supports LVCC Summer Enrichment Programs

Thanks to the generosity of the Wells Fargo Foundation, LVCC school-age students will have a fun summer of exploration. With this contribution, educators from Allentown Art Museum and Lehigh Valley Zoo will bring art and zoological discovery to the classroom. Students enrolled in LVCC's summer program will also take field trips to the museum and zoo. 

Wells Fargo store managers Armando Ordonez and Patty Scheirer stopped by LVCC's Judith Chase Early Learning Center for a photo op and a tour of the center.

Telling Time

Tick tock, tick tock. That's the sound of the working clocks built by the Pre-K Counts class at LVCC's Judith Chase Early Learning Center.

Time is a difficult concept for young children to understand. It's not something that can be seen or felt. By building a clock piece-by-piece, children have a tangible object representing time to explore.

In the class lesson, the children learned the names and uses for the hands on a clock. They identified which numbers made up a clock face. Time reading and counting make a great introduction to math skills.

The pre-kindergartners made imaginative use of telling time. They colored unique clock faces. They also discovered the basic mechanics of how a clock keeps ticking.

What time is it?
