Designed to be used in conjunction with an early childhood guide entitled "Beginnings," this resource guide presents a variety of learning activities for children in preschool through second grade. The guide aims to encourage and reinforce the use of a variety of concrete, semi-concrete, and abstract activities meeting the developmental needs of children in the areas of art; social studies; science; health; safety; cooking; sand play, water play, and woodworking; and transition time. The activities presented can be readily adapted to a wide range of individual and group needs by varying the degree of assistance provided by the teacher. Basic information is also provided concerning expectations for teachers, the development of children at various ages, assessment, parent participation, organizing/utilizing a volunteer program, and the integrated curriculum. Also included are resources for learning in each of the curriculum areas described in the guide, as well as a brief bibliography on parenting and a list of teacher resources. (RH)
