The Integrated Day in an American School: A Curriculum Report for the Year 1968-69.
Sargent, Betsye
A curriculum used in teaching a mixed group of five-, six-, and seven-year olds is presented in chart form which contains sections for each academic area in an ungraded primary classroom. The charts are divided into the following columns: materials, activities, participation, and comments. Room arrangements, shown in diagrams, are the following: writing corner; reading experiences and the library; math corner; painting, clay, and scrap corners; block corner; water play area; dramatic play area. Location, space, and arrangement of materials changed periodically. Special studies carried out, called Center of Interest, are described as to what the study involved, resources, how it began, method of study, general comment, later extension if applicable, final results if applicable, and along the fringes. The report concludes with a listing of books read by a teacher to a group and poetry read by a teacher to a group. Several photographs of students are provided as illustrations. (DJ)
