Cycles, a book in the Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grades 1-3, gives students the opportunity to explore cycles in relation to patterns.

The books in Prufrock's new Differentiated Curriculum Kits employ a differentiated, integrated curriculum based on broad themes. This all-in-one curriculum helps teachers save planning time, ensure compliance with national standards, and most importantly, pique their students' natural excitement and interest in discovery.

By participating in the wide variety of activities in the Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grades 1-3, students will discover the cycles around them and gain a lifelong desire to learn. In this book, students will explore cycles and patterns in time and calendars. Misconceptions about the phases of the moon will be laid to rest in a practical (and fun!) lunar cycle simulation. Students also will explore the developmental stages of butterflies, and predict what each stage of a butterfly's life might look like if they themselves were transformed into a butterfly.

Cycles, along with the other books in the Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grades 1-3 (Discoveries, Faces, Gifts, and Symbols), makes teaching advanced learners easier!

Grades 1-3

This curriculum unit makes use of the following great children's literature books:

The Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System by Joanna Cole;
From Caterpillar to Butterfly by Deborah Heiligman (or other metamorphosis books);
An Extraordinary Life: The Story of a Monarch by Laurence Pringle;

Round Trip by Ann Jonas.
