What is From basketball to the Beatles : in search of compelling early childhood curriculum about?

"This entertaining and informative guide provides both the big picture about work in early childhood classrooms - the theory of teaching young children - and the details of developing and implementing preschool curriculum. Each chapter describes a specific curriculum unit on topics ranging from squirrels to storytelling, astronomy to South Africa, and basketball to the Beatles. Each unit is followed by field-tested suggestions for exploring the topic, including art projects, movement activities, songs, group time activities, dramatic play props, stories, and field trips. There are also lists of resources at the end of each chapter to help you implement the curriculum.". "Embedded within each chapter are guiding principles for curriculum development and implementation. Included are thoughts on using stories to bring topics to life, tapping children's fantasy and play to further inquiry, understanding students and guiding their activities, teaching skills as a natural part of study, building a community of learners, extending the learning environment beyond the classroom, and understanding teaching as a dynamic process."--BOOK JACKET.
