Just one thing to remember – these are purely my ideas and activities that I have found have accomplished great steps with the children with whom I have had the privilege to work, for 20 years. It is not an answer to all problems and will not suddenly help to perform great miracles.

This new multi-cultural, anti-bias text offers a refreshing approach to combining science, math, social studies, music and art with whole language for children aged 3-6. Child-initiated, hands-on activities encourage children to explore which stimulates them to spontaneously use all parts of language-speaking, listening, reading and writing. Early childhood educators can use these whole language experiences to lay a foundation for children to build on when they later focus on separate parts of language growth. Features: -offers multi-cultural, anti-bias representation -each unit begins with an "Attention Getter" to stimulate interest -clear, concise directions and complete materials lists make this book easy-to-use -activities selected are from across the curriculum.
It is easy to regard the school as a venue for learning, in the cognitive sense, and to forget that pupils are also learning a great deal about social life, social interactions and friendships, in school time. Indeed school will provide the major source of these experiences for most children, and this volume is devoted to these issues, and to aspects of differences between children (sex, ethnicity) which impact on these. The readings chosen are summarised in the series introduction. Here, we mention specific alternative works, books or book chapters, which can usefully supplement or update the readings chosen here.
