SIGN AND SAY: Baby's First Words

This is a durable board book that toddlers can haul around with them or sit quietly and "read". The book includes a fold out felt board, attached to the back cover. Attached to the front cover is a zip lock plastic pouch containing sturdy cardboard Velcro-backed pictures of objects whose signs are included in the book. This is an interactive sign language kit that caregivers and parents can use with any age of child. If you have been wanting to integrate sign language into your daily care giving routines, this is a great book to start with.

STORYTELLING IN EMERGENT LITERACY
Fostering Multiple Intelligences
-Susan Trostle Brand & Jeanne M. Donato

Have you been puzzling over how to inspire reading and writing with your group of children? Have you wondered why one child loves story time while another child couldn't care less, that is until you bring out a puppet or other prop to enliven the story? This book may answer some of your questions and provide ideas for enriching your literacy activities.
Using the calendar as a thematic guide, this book explores Howard Gardiner's Multiple Intelligences Theory and guides the teacher of young children through activities month by month. Check it out!

YOUNG INVESTIGATORS
The Project Approach in the Early Years
-Judith Harris Helm & Lilian Katz

Using themes, projects, or units of study to completely explore a skill or topic is nothing new to long-time early childhood educators. How often have groups of young learners spent weeks on the topic of plants and growing things, for example? Allowing and providing for children to fully explore their interests is at the heart emergent curriculum.
This book serves as a practical guide for anyone caring for a group of children. Filled with pictures of preschool children completely absorbed in their projects, it inspires as well as supports caregivers to provide a "total learning experience". The Project Approach gives a variety of ideas for projects from start to finish.

THE COMPLETE LEARNING CENTER BOOK
-Rebecca Isbell

Are you looking for new ways to inject interest into your learning environment? This book is stuffed with ideas for enriching your learning environment as well as plans and recipes for learning materials. There are floor plans for areas to create following such common preschool themes as sand and water, construction, and art. There are also ideas for creating some not so common areas such as camping and beach centers. If you check this book out of our library, we bet you won't want to give it back! It's that handy!

BIG MESSY ART BOOK
But Easy to Clean Up
-MaryAnn F. Kohl

This is another jam-packed useful book from MaryAnn Kohl. She has authored such imaginative books as Making Make Believe and Preschool Art: Process Not Product. We have both of these in our Lending Library as well. True to form, the author gives us a guide at the beginning, so you can see at a glance which activity will suit your specific needs, time, age group, and space. Recipes and inventive ways to use them are included. You can choose from chapters entitled Basic But Bigger, in which you find ideas to enlarge everyday activities such as stamping, sculpture, and weaving or how about the chapter called Action Art? Even if you don't try all of the activities in the book, you will never look at art experiences in quite the same way again!
