Customer Reviews

An excellent resource book for elementary teachers.

I am a primary level teacher in a private school. Our curriculum is based on a program from California which usesthematic units and a project approach to allow the students to explore thier own interests while learning within the theme. Our themes are based on particular time frames in history, and every two weeks we "visit" a different area of the world within our current time frame. The Pre-Primary teacher and I have found this book to be a valuable resource for our curriculum. In this book we have found information on holidays and festivals, games and sports, foods, fashion, performing arts, music, visual arts and so much more! I have used this book to help me find information to present to the students, as well as to find information the children needed for their project presentations. And it is all listed by culture, so everything is easy to find. The teachers of Bright Ideas School really like this book! Thank you
