WASHINGTON -- The National Research Council, a well-respected group of academics based in Washington, D.C., says preschoolers have been taught their ABCs, but not enough focus is placed on teaching them the 1-2-3s.

Four-year-old Jacob can count to 100. His classmates are writing and grouping numbers.

Basic concepts that experts say children need well before they enter kindergarten.

"The longer you wait, the more chances you're going to have that they're going to fall through the cracks" says teacher Michael Helling.

The National Research Council finds kids ages 3 to 6 are already learning numbers and geometry through everyday experiences.

"When we're going outside we're lining up and then we're all going to count. Count how many friends we have," says teacher Anuschka Boekhoudt.

"They're learning addition and subtraction but they don't really realize it you know. It's just, it's fun for them," adds Helling.

As the site says all of its CBD products are legal in every state, it’s clear that they’re low in THC; but are they high in CBD?
    If you purchase PureKana products, the site claims you’ll benefit from organically grown CBD that contains no pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, solvents and everything is non-GMO. PureKana combines ‘typical’ CBD products such as oils, pills, and capsules. It all sounds great in theory but let’s see what PureKana’s products are like in practice and what I had to say.
