That's just what they'll get with this hands-on guidebook! The basis for the PBS kids show \"\"Sid the Science Kid\"\", this innovative teaching resource helps children ages 3-5 investigate their everyday world and develop the basics of scientific thinking - skills they'll apply across subject areas when they enter school. A fun and engaging way to introduce science to young children, PrePS[trademark] is a must-have because it is based on the domain-specific approach to cognitive development. The collaborative work of cognitive researchers and preschool educators, this approach incorporates lessons learned from developmental research and classroom experience. It provides age-appropriate introduction to key science practices (see sidebar). It supports a range of cognitive and social skills. PrePS[trademark] uses science to help children develop math skills, early literacy and language skills, and social and emotional sensitivity. It taps teachers' creativity. Because PrePS[trademark] is designed to energize teachers and tap in to their personal creativity, teachers who already use the PrePS[trademark] approach have reported an increase in professional satisfaction. This reader-friendly guide gives educators the guidance they need to work PrePS[trademark] into their existing program; sample schedules designed for the preschool classroom; and, detailed sample activities they can do right away or use as templates for their own creative lessons. And with the book's assessment guidelines, teachers will know PrePS[trademark] is having a measurable effect on the classroom environment and student learning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BROOKES PUBLISHING CO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52395429822738,"sku":"9781598570441","price":66.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781598570441.jpg?v=1781820604","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781598570441","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
