Obama and Mamdani sing Wheels on the Bus together to preschoolers | Flipboard

Former President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani met for the first time Saturday (April 18) at a New York child care center leading preschoolers in a singalong to “Wheels on the Bus”. The former two-term president and standard-bearer for the Democratic Party has offered to be a sounding board for Mamdani, 34, whose star power and progressive agenda has made him stand out in Democratic politics. Mamdani's meeting with Obama comes after he's already met twice with Trump at the White House in November and February to discuss issues affecting New York City. Despite those friendly meetings, their relationship has shown signs of strain recently, with Trump posting on Truth Social Thursday that Mamdani was “DESTROYING New York” with his taxing policies and threatened to pull federal funding for the city.

California rethinks how to identify 4-year-olds who need extra help learning English

The challenge is that children at this age are still developing language skills. In the past, students would sometimes cry and put their heads down on the desk during tests.
