Description: "The Full-Day Kindergarten: Planning and Practicing a Dynamic Themes Curriculum, a completely revised second edition of Doris Fromberg's highly regarded work, is a much-needed resource that deals broadly with early childhood curriculum design and development, offering specific, step-by-step ways to plan an emergent curriculum based upon integrated dynamic themes that grow out of children's diverse personal and cultural experiences." "The author's approach integrates a variety of factors - children's play, playfulness, and exploration; multiculturalism and bilingualism; inclusionary curriculum; parent involvement; authentic assessment; and teacher reflectivity - within a caring community of independent and responsible children. The book also contains extensive activities that early childhood teachers can adapt and use to help young children develop their social, emotional, physical, aesthetic, and intellectual potential."--Jacket.
