This collection of developmentally appropriate early childhood education curriculum activities uses themes to integrate the curriculum for young children. The activities involve active exploration, problem-solving, and the acquisition of specific concepts or skills. The collection is divided into six broad sections, with individual themes comprising each section. The sections are: (1) "All About Me," including themes related to self, friends, family, and community; (2) "The Senses"; (3) "Seasons"; (4) "Environment," including themes related to colors, shapes, oceans and lakes, and forests; (5) "Animals and More," including themes related to the zoo, farm, pets, insects, fish, birds, circus, and dinosaurs; and (6) "Transportation." Each theme is designed to merge play with child-initiated and teacher-created experiences. The descriptions of each of the 30 themes include the following: (1) thematic web diagram; (2) theme goals; (3) suggested vocabulary words; (4) child-created bulletin board; (5) thematic activities; (6) bibliography of selected children's books; and (7) parent letters related to the theme. Also included with the collection is a CD-ROM containing instructional and additional resource materials. An appendix contains full-page enlargements of sheet music presented in various themes. (KB)
