About this title

Synopsis

Four early childhood teachers have collaborated to create an energy-packed theme-based curriculum "exploding" with classroom tested ideas. Themestorming looks at curriculum in a different way. Ten theme-based chapters including Sticky; Giant Teeny Tiny; Muddy Puddles, Soap and Bubbles; and Meanies, Monsters and Make Believe examine ideas from a different perspective and awaken both the teacher's and children's interests.

Peggy Wieck has taught early childhood for 14 years; and Pat Steinhaus has 12 years experience in day care centers and with toddlers and preschoolers.
