Colleen MacDonell is the Learning Resources Coordinator for a pre-K to Grade 12 international school.
This book will be an invaluable resource for teachers and
elementary school librarians. It offers information in the area of
early childhood education and gives an overview of the project
approach to learning. The project approach promotes learning and
allows the children the power to choose what they will study and
how they will go about it. Included are workable activities that
are interesting to young children. As educators are aware,
standards and the need for quality educational experiences are
increasingly being required. This book contains specific learning
standards that can be integrated for each topic. Topics are
relevant to children and are investigated as part of the research
process. This research process leads young children so they can
resolve their questions related to the topics being covered. This
book also offers age-appropriate resources and addresses the
different questions each range of ages have when learning a topic.
This well-organized book gives a vast number of content titles for
librarians and teachers to draw upon for the projects. Print (both
fiction and nonfiction), electronic resources, videos, songs, and
poems are suggested as part of the 'resources' sections.
