| Summary |
"Surprising Destinations offers a model for a refreshing, thought-provoking approach to early childhood curriculum that integrates art, science, gardening, celebrations, intergenerational program involvement, community service projects, and human rights study. Incorporating a year's worth of ideas, suggestions, survival tips, and vignettes, it shows how "buddy study" time nurtures literacy in the traditional and broader human sense - how it emphasizes humanitarian qualities of respectfulness, kindness, compassion, and responsibility. You'll see how these two classes of children ended up being buddies in greater ways than even the teachers envisioned. |

And the surprising and joyful destinations they ultimately reached reveal what can happen when curriculum and teaching practices support this kind of learning."--Jacket. |
