Description

Childhood is full of wonders. The Wonders curriculum builds on the questions children ask, creating more opportunities for learning. 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 Kindergarten, students will learn to discover the wonders around them and gain a lifelong desire to learn.

In Wonders Book 1: Nature, Space, and Community, students will explore many different types of wonders found within the broad concepts of nature, space, and community.In this inquiry-rich book, students will wonder about trees and forests, as well as those animals that roam in the night. They will simulate a trip to space and wonder about the many jobs necessary to go on a space mission. Students also will explore the idea of community and satisfy their curiosity about community helpers, designing a city, and how to be safe at home and within the community.

Other books in the Wonders series include Wonders Book 2: Plants, Insects, and Dinosaurs; and Wonders Book 3: Machines, My Body, and Physical Fitness.
