Yo, Ciudadano: Un Curriculo de Experiencias para Educacion Civica. Nivel: Kindergarten (Citizen Me: An Experiential Curriculum for Citizenship Education. Level: Kindergarten).
Vardeman, Lou
Integrating concepts of basic citizenship education with community involvement, this experiential curriculum provides a means for developing decision making and critical thinking skills within the existing social studies curriculum at the kindergarten level. Consisting of 11 lessons, the guide, written in Spanish, introduces the meaning of rules, truth, responsibility, sharing, citizenship, and respect for property. Using the characters and stories of "Sammy, El Oso Buen Ciudadano,""Maria Tenia Un Borreguito,""La Gallinita Roja,""Caperucita Roja,""El Leon y El Raton,""El Nino Que Grito 'Lobo',""El Zapatero y los Enanos," and "Los Tres Ositos," the lessons teach students about: various school rules that need to be obeyed; the importance of safety rules, of sharing, and of asking permission before using the property of others; the need for rules; the need to share and accept responsibilities; their responsibility for keeping promises; the dangerous consequences that may occur when a dare is made and accepted; and some of the consequences of not telling the truth. Each lesson includes a purpose statement, concepts to be learned, time and materials needed, student objectives, suggested activities, and patterns for making the necessary materials. A review lesson and a good citizen award certificate conclude the guide. (NQA)
