In this book, teachers will learn how to plan and implement meaningful thematic experiences that truly educate young children, not just keep them busy. Teachers are given guides to planning and implementing a curriculum that will lead to a high level of involvement on the part of children and to children’s academic success.
Active Experiences for Active Children: Social Studies consists of clear, concise, usable guides for planning meaningful learning experiences in the social studies for children in childcare settings, preschool programs, Head Start, and kindergarten. Primary-grade children can engage in active experiential learning as well, and each experience is extended to the early primary grades (grades 1—3).
