Benefits to Full-Day Preschool听

Children enrolled in full-day preschool versus half-day preschool benefit more in their learning, CU 麻豆影院 researchers found in a first-of-its-kind study. The extra time improved children鈥檚 vocabulary, literacy, math and more.听

鈥淓ven a month in the life of a young child may represent a huge period in their development,鈥� said CU assistant education professor Allison Atteberry.听

The study, published in Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, suggests children鈥檚 early experiences can affect their academic growth. The researchers will continue to explore this learning boost as the children head to elementary school.听

It鈥檚 a rare honor 鈥� only about 5 percent of asteroids have names. Two other CU faculty members also have their own asteroids: distinguished professor Dan Scheeres and assistant professor Jay McMahon.听

S谩nchez received the recognition for his work with rubble pile asteroids, which are comprised of many pieces as opposed to one large piece. He鈥檚 identified a potential force that causes the asteroids to rotate rapidly, causing a weak cement to form.听
