“Attending the workshop, Primary Problem Solving Made Easy, presented by Rena Pate, was a refreshing change of pace. Her simple approach to problem solving is practical and can be accomplished in just minutes each day. The methods presented would work well with any existing program, encouraging children to be thinkers."
