Last Friday, Demme Learning hosted students from La Plaza, an after-school program based in Lancaster city that uses our Math-U-See and Spelling You See programs. We gave them a tour of the office and warehouse and had stations setup where employees would share how they used math and spelling in their day to day jobs. Here are a few pictures from the visit:

One of the learning highlights from the event was when I took the group to my office. Immediately, they headed over to the globe. Soon they were asking me, “Where’s Pennsylvania?” “Where’s Peru?” “Where’s the library?” and “Hey, what about Mexico?”
