Meer over het boek

Preschool teachers today are asked to teach children with a wide range of skills and very diverse backgrounds. It becomes increasingly more difficult to meet the needs of all of the students and to plan new and exciting activities and lessons five days a week. To meet this need, we have developed a book of 29 thematic units for preschool teachers which addresses a variety of special needs of children and the typically developing peer. Each unit provides basic vocabulary in English and Spanish. The units are filled with activities which are developmentally appropriate and encourage exploratory learning. Themes are developed across the curriculum: language, pre-academic, motor, literature, music, and cooking. Suggestions for special activities are included as well as home activities. Also included are suggestions for adapting activities for special needs students. Appendices with all the recipes, song lyrics, and project directions are provided. The uniqueness of this book is the TOTAL organization it involves. It allows for easy assembling of all materials, books, and songs so that the teacher can use her time constructively with students, parents, and aides instead of untold hours gathering ideas and materials for her classroom activities.
