A Head Start on Science: Encouraging a Sense of Wonder
Wed, Jul 16, 2008 11:12 AM
Small Wonders Is Full of Wonder
This book is a gem! With recent research indicating that children are becoming "disconnected" from nature, Small Wonders: Nature Education for Young Children by Linda Garrett and Hannah Thomas is an invaluable resource for anyone who works with young children. Small Wonders is divided into three inter-displinary themes: Growth & Change; Animal Homes; and Connections to Nature. Within each broad topic, there are eight units. A wealth of background information is included for each unit, including comprehensive literature connections. Small Wonders is a breath of fresh air in the current spate of environmental curriculum for children. Rather than focus on the "gloom and doom" aspects of the modern environmental crisis, Small Wonders is a "wonder"-ful guide to fostering a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world. As the Senegalese poet Babr Dioum Dioum has written: " We will conserve only what we love." Small Wonders takes large steps toward developing the love of nature in our youngest citizens.
