Sing me a story! - Hilda L. Jackman

Sing Me a Story! Tell Me a Song! can help you answer Yes! to both questions. This great new resource is designed to let you mix, match, and add developmentally appropriate activities to your existing lesson plans. You'll be able to design lessons that:

Relate to the children's own lives

Integrate sensory development into lessons

Help students develop motor coordination and social/emotional skills

Allow young students to learn at their own pace and in their own style

Get students moving, doing, and learning

The book is divided into six sections that showcase activities for encouraging active exploration, problem solving, and skills development. The "thematic web" at the start of each theme gives you a starting point for adding your own good ideas to the mix.

Each theme includes a parent letter you can customize, fill in, print out, and send to keep parents current on what's happening in your classroom. The letters come in three "age groups," for parents of toddlers, preschoolers, and school-agers. (Parent letters are on Windows and Mac-compatible CD-ROM.)

Sing Me a Story! Tell Me a Song! will help make your job easier. It's filled with the kinds of ideas you need to add creative and challenging learning activities to your curriculum. Let it help you motivate and stimulate your students to love learning.
