- Summary:
-
This booklet contains four articles, from the perspective of both parents and teachers, concerned with learning in the early grades. "From Kindergarten to Grade One: Making the Transition" (J. Ward), is a teacher's narrative on the importance of creating a child-centered classroom and an integrated, play-based curriculum. This article also provides answers to questions and concerns anticipated from others, and emphasizes the involvement of parents. The next article is "Discovery Education is Alive and Well: A Parent's Perspective" (D. G. Thomas), in which a parent expresses appreciation of a teacher-created learning environment that emphasizes hands-on exercises. The third article is written jointly by two teachers: "Multi-Grade Teaching in an Activity-Based Classroom" (M. Brewer and B. Jardine), and describes a team teaching situation. The students ranged in age from 4 to 8 years, and the learning was entirely activity-based. The last article, "K-2: A Parent's View" (V. French), presents a parent's impressions of the multi-grade classroom described in the preceding article, and describes the successful inclusion of her multiply handicapped son. (BAC)
