A Teacher's Guide to a Walk in the Rainforest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All of the Dawn teacher guides by the Malnors are superior resources. They are very well-organized and easy to follow. There are enough activities suggested to be very selective and still have more than enough material. Plus, what I love about these guides, is that all modes of learning are addressed: for example, the body and the feelings as well as the intellect. My other favorites are the rainforests and ocean guides.

Early Sprouts: Cultivating Healthy Food Choices in Young Children Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Childhood obesity has risen to the top of the agenda of many health experts, and so "Early Sprouts: Cultivating Healthy Food Choices in Young Children," has arrived to offer great yet practical ideas on how to tackle the problem.
The idea of the 24-week classroom program is to integrate solid nutritional principles into early childhood curriculum through lesson plans and activities, instead of simply lecturing children about why they should eat their vegetables. Lessons include literally planting sprouts, visiting farms, gardens and farmers' markets, using vegetable terms in such exercises as math and vocabulary and working in a garden. Bringing fresh food from soil to table is the underlying lesson.
Included in the book are several recipes, most of them class-sized but certainly adaptable; tools for assessing what parents are feeding their children; a vitamin and mineral chart, and ways to establish and expand support for this kind of program. The book notes that the program exists in Northeast schools and suggests some of its ideas might have to be adapted for different cultural and geographical regions.
