What's Up?
If you care for young children, this is a how-to model for creating meaningful, individualized activities in the school, childcare center, or home, with a minimal amount of planning or time-consuming preparations.
The activities in What's Up? Activities for Responding to Children's Lives authenticate children's feelings, their perspectives, and their life experience.
These activities grouped into three sections: Family Play, Family Work and Changes, help you bridge the gap between home and school, allowing children to be heard and families to be honored, no matter what their personal or economic situation. What's Up? Activities for Responding to Children's Lives makes individualizing curriculum easy.
There's no need to search libraries or other teacher's shelves for supplements that correspond to the topics.
You will discover activities that address a full range of developmental areas, all contained within this handy resource.
Everything from children's literature and outdoor games, to imaginative play set up and cooperative sculpting has been collected here to help you save on preparation time. Included activities promote large and small muscle development, social interaction, self-esteem building and language acquisition.
Projects, games and experiments relating to traditional art, music, pre-science and math are interwoven in an interdisciplinary format, appropriate for early childhood.
Three characters in the book foster literacy with their stories, poems, and thoughts on the topics in the three sections.
