Stars and Space Through Picture Books: Learning to Look Beyond

Book Cover Images from www.booksamillion.com

Take a look at the KidReadz Wikispaces, where curriculum is currently being developed to help young children learn that they and other people might have varying opinions--especially about the ways that they look at and see art.

The unit is especially geared toward Constructivism and cultivating thinking skills. Internationalism and multiculturalism is also fostered in this unit. Children will be encouraged to view themselves as part of a larger world community--part of a greater universe.

Picture books, music, and the arts will be part of the curriculum, a portion of which is available now at: KidReadz Wikispaces

Check Back Often. More Authors, Book Lists, and Themes Are Being Added Weekly to the KidReadz Wikispaces!
