Excellent resource for teachers
2010-05-15
Reviewer: Melissa Rentas
My current center has this book for staff to use in the library and I loved it so much I ordered one for myself. It has a wide range of early childhood themes and includes planning webs for some ideas of how you can extend the theme and ideas for planting the theme into centers. It has some cute art/small group activities and songs/finger plays, but some topics have more than others or they may not be appropriate for your group and you'll need to find more elsewhere. However, the book and multimedia lists have been excellent and overall it has proven to be an excellent investment.
Great for Montessori Philosophy

Reviewer: L. Bangert
This is all based around a montessori style educational philosophy. If you are into that, then this is a great resource for you. Unfortunately, I've been teaching way too long to find this effective.
Exactly what I asked for!
