Hailed by renowned educator Deborah Meier as 'a rare and special
pleasure to read,' Kindergarten explores a year in the life of a
kindergarten classroom through the eyes of the gifted veteran
teacher and author Julie Diamond. In this lyrical, beautifully
written first-person account, Diamond explains the logic behind the
routines and rituals children need to thrive. She guides through
all aspects of classroom life, the organisation, curriculum and
relationships that create a unique class environment to understand
what early learning can and should be.
Twins are everywhere these days! You see them in their double
strollers, at the park, on the street, in baby classes, and hogging
the aisles in stores-everywhere. Since when did having twins become
so popular? And how in the heck do these moms of twins do it? How
do you cope when you find out you're expecting twins? And how do
you get through the first year without ending up in the loony bin
or bankrupt?
Unlike other books on twins, "HEART TWO HEART" is written by
twin moms for other twin moms. (Even the book's editor is a twin
mom!) Where other books on twins focus mainly on medical issues,
psychological, educational, or parenting issues, "HEART TWO HEART"
tells twin moms what they need to know about what it's like day to
day for that first year of having twins.Where are twin moms
supposed to go to figure out what to buy in terms of twin gear?
What happens if an expectant mom of twins ends up on bedrest? How
do you feed two squalling infants at the same time-alone? What
might the father of twins experience? What kind of changes might
twin moms expect from their bodies?"HEART TWO HEART" tells it like
it is.
Today’s kindergarten teachers face enormous challenges to reach
district-mandated academic standards. This book presents a model
for 21st-century kindergartens that is rooted in child-centered
learning and also shaped by the needs and goals of the present day.
Classroom teachers working with diverse populations of students and
focusing on issues of social justice provide vivid descriptions of
classroom life across urban and rural communities. Teacher
reflections and commentary from the editors link teacher decisions
to principles of good practice. Teaching Kindergarten illustrates
how a progressive, learning-centered approach can not only meet the
equity and accountability goals of the Common Core State Standards
but go well beyond that to educate the whole child.
