Stars and Space Through Picture Books: Learning to Look Beyond
Take a look at one of the KidReadz Wikispaces, where curriculum is currently being developed to help young children learn about art, space, stars, and that they and other people might have varying opinions--especially about the ways that they look at and see all of these things.
The unit, My Rainbow, is especially geared toward Constructivism and toward cultivating thinking skills. Internationalism and multiculturalism is also fostered in this unit. Children will be encouraged to view themselves as part of a larger world community--part of a greater universe.
Painting and Drawing Exercises are part of the Unit
Picture books, music, and the arts will be part of the curriculum, a portion of which is available now at: KidReadz My Rainbow Wikispaces
