Description

Patterns help organize our lives. Students participating in the Patterns Differentiated Curriculum Kit will experience activities that will help organize their thought processes throughout life. Students will become pattern detectives, pattern creators, and pattern solvers in this three-part series.

The books in Prufrock's new Differentiated Curriculum Kits employ a differentiated, integrated curriculum based on broad themes. This all-in-one curriculum helps teachers save planning time, ensure compliance with national standards, and most importantly, pique their students' natural excitement and interest in discovery. By participating in the wide variety of activities in the Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grade 1, students will discover the patterns around them and gain a lifelong desire to learn.

In Patterns Book 3: Economics, Biographies, and Citizenship, students will use keys to unlock patterns. They will discover patterns in business as they are exposed to a basic lesson on economics. Setting personal goals and examining citizenship characteristics of well-known role models are also tasks that students will enjoy in this book. Students will unlock patterns relevant to pride in our country, our national flag, and the United States Constitution.

Each book contains detailed lesson plans, reproducible activity sheets, and assessment tools.
