Cunningham, Dorothy, Comp.
This preschool resource curriculum, intended for use in a Head Start center, was written to correspond with a work plan and curriculum for children 3 to 5 years of age. The units included in the curriculum guide are aimed at integrating growth experiences with the learning of basic skills. Each of the 16 units contains material related to each of the CDA functional areas, as well as bilingual activities, and emphasis is given to affective as well as cognitive activities. Activities provided are intended for use with small and large groups. Each unit provides cultural activities to promote pride in ethnic background and race. Most units include suggestions for activities that children can do at home with their parents plus references to resources such as books, records and films, many available in Spanish. Names of units included are: About Me; Nursery Rhymes; The Senses; Plants; Transportation; Children of Other Lands; Birds, Spiders, Insects and Worms; Community Helpers; Animals; The Farm; Circus; Sea Life; Seasons; Holidays; Free Play; and Pre-Writing. In addition to activities, most units include preassessment and postassessment materials and general unit objectives. (Author/RH)
