The Kangaroo Book: Developmental Activities Related to the State Kindergarten Objectives.
Corley, Rhonda; And Others
Intended for use in conjunction with the guidebook, "Early Childhood Education in South Carolina," this book of experiential activities aims to help kindergarten teachers plan an appropriate program for their children. Each activity described realizes one of the 18 objectives for kindergarten that were adopted by the South Carolina State Board of Education Basic Skills Assessment Program. After brief discussions of basic beliefs about kindergarten, program development, classroom management, and the continuous assessment of children's development through daily observation, contents provide statements of objectives and descriptions of activities in the areas of (1) gross motor development; (2) fine motor development; (3) remembering visual stimuli; (4) perceiving visual likenesses and differences; (5) remembering auditory stimuli; (6) perceiving auditory likenesses and differences; (7) expressive language; (8) receptive language; (9) expressing interest in language; (10) classification; (11) making comparisons; (12) sequencing; (13) understanding the concept of the conservation of number; (14) interpreting and inferring; (15) controlling emotions; (16) developing a positive self-concept; (17) developing a positive attitude toward school; and (18) developing acceptable interactions with others. An appendix lists equipment and materials considered essential for a kindergarten program. (RH)
