The small-group experiences are divided into these sections: Children's interests, New materials, The high/scope preschool key experiences, and Community experience. This book is wonderful for planning small group times that keep children involved & interested. Has 100 plans for active, engaging small group times that stimulate children's creativity, help them learn skills and concepts, and introduce them to a wide range of new and thought provoking experiences, both inside the preschool classroom and in the neighborhood and community that surround the school. In addition, an introductory chapter explains the principles of planning for small group times in high/Scope early childhood programs and presents strategies teachers can use to make small group times go smoothly. These small group times are child oriented; they start with observations of children's interests and classroom behaviors and build from there, incorporating ideas that teachers gather from a wide range of sources. - from Amzon
