This is number five in a series of resource manuals consisting of 11 sequenced curriculum guides developed by the Demonstration and Research Center for Early Education (DARCEE) for use in early childhood education programs. Emphasis is placed on the development of sensory, abstracting and mediating, and response skills. The projected order of the units is: (1) All About Me, (2) Plants, (3) Autumn, (4) Home and Family, (5) Winter, (6) Forest Animals, (7) Neighborhood and Community, (8) Farm Animals, (9) Spring, (10) Transportation, (11) Farm Crops. Each unit is intended to build upon skills developed in preceding ones. The fifth unit, "Winter," is primarily a science unit. The major content objectives are to expand the child's understanding of people and plants and to increase awareness of environmental changes. The suggested time for the unit is three weeks. Instructional activities are presented side by side with basic skills to be developed. A list of instructional materials and their sources is given.
