Symbols
Description:... Symbols, a book in the Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grades 1-3, gives students the opportunity to explore what symbols are and why they are used.
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 Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grades 1-3, students will discover the symbols around them and gain a lifelong desire to learn. Although we are surrounded by symbols for most of our lives, we take most of them for granted. In this study, students will learn why symbols are used, where they originated from, and how they are universally accepted. Symbols presents a study of today's practical symbols, as well as ancient symbols from Chinese and Mayan cultures.
Symbols, along with the other books in the Multiage Differentiated Curriculum Kit for Grades 1-3 (Cycles, Discoveries, Faces, and Gifts), makes teaching advanced learners easier!
