Product Description

=Good Health better than Gold.=--Horses and houses, balls and dolls, and much else that people think they want to make them happy can be bought with money. The one thing which is worth more than all else cannot be bought with even a houseful of gold. This thing is good health. Over three million persons in our country are now sick, and many of them are suffering much pain. Some of them would give all the money they have to gain once more the good health which the poorest may usually enjoy by right living day by day.

=How long shall you live?=--In this country most of the persons born live to be over forty years of age, and some live more than one hundred years. A hundred years ago most persons died before the age of thirty-five years. In London three hundred years ago only about one half of those born reached the age of twenty-five years. Scarcely one half of the people in India to-day live beyond the age of twenty-five years. In fact, people in India are dying nearly twice as fast as in our own country. This is because they have not learned how to take care of the body in India so well as we have.

Excellent
The Book Creative Resources for the Early Childhood Classroom is not only geared for classroom teachers but moms who are enthusiastic about finding fun ways for their children. As a parent and teacher, this book is now one of the handiest books in my library as it makes my lessons and thematic planning so much easier. I am also able to help my son with activities based on themes being done or things that he finds curious. I can help create that learning experience for him.

Excellent resource for teachers
My current center has this book for staff to use in the library and I loved it so much I ordered one for myself. It has a wide range of early childhood themes and includes planning webs for some ideas of how you can extend the theme and ideas for planting the theme into centers. It has some cute art/small group activities and songs/finger plays, but some topics have more than others or they may not be appropriate for your group and you'll need to find more elsewhere. However, the book and multimedia lists have been excellent and overall it has proven to be an excellent investment.

Great for Montessori Philosophy
This is all based around a montessori style educational philosophy.If you are into that, then this is a great resource for you.Unfortunately, I've been teaching way too long to find this effective.

Exactly what I asked for!
Once again, Amazon does not disappoint!With free shipping, and a clearly labeled description, I knew that this book was in stock and it was exactly what I needed.I received it ahead of schedule in perfect condition.Thanks Amazon!

Book Excerpts:

The art of teaching is based primarily upon the science of psychology. In this book the authors have sought to make clear the principles of psychology which are involved in teaching, and to show definitely their application in the work of the classroom. The book has been written in language as free from technical terms as is possible.

In a discussion of the methods of teaching it is necessary to consider the ends or aims involved, as well as the process. The authors have, on this account, included a chapter on the work of the teacher, in which is discussed the aims of education.

The success or failure of the work of a teacher is determined by the changes which are brought to pass in the children who are being taught. This book, therefore, includes a chapter on the measurement of the achievements of children.

Throughout the book the discussion of the art of teaching is always modified by an acceptance upon the part of the writers of the social purpose of education.

The treatment of each topic will be found to be based upon investigations and researches in the fields of psychology and education which involve the measurement of the achievements of children and of adults under varying conditions.

Wherever possible, the relation between the principle of teaching laid down and the scientific inquiry upon which it is based is indicated.

Any careful study of the mental life and development of children reveals at the same time the unity and the diversity of the process involved.

For the sake of definiteness and clearness, the authors have differentiated between types of mental activity and the corresponding types of classroom exercises.

They have, at the same time, sought to make clear the interdependence of the various aspects of teaching method and the unity involved in mental development. ... Read more
