Teachers will love this
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book offers just what kids love--hands-on activities that allow them to be creative and have a lot of fun while learning about other cultures. Normally it takes teachers inordinate amounts of time to research and design such activities. Carol Peterson has done that and wrapped it all up in one neat, ready-to-go package. If I were still teaching, I'd definitely use this in my classroom.
An Valuable Resource for Teachers and Parents
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Author Carol Peterson has created a winner in this guide to creating living history events for children. Peterson takes three historical themes--ancient cultures, Native American culture, Colonial America, and Pioneers--and deftly uses a combination of crafts, games, recipes, legends, and songs to give children experiences they'll never draw from a textbook. Teachers, home-schooling parents, scouting leaders, and camp counselors will find this book brimming with creative projects. "Jump Back in Time" can be used on many levels--as a resource for school-wide or organization-wide events, classroom-level activities, or with individual kids. Parents will find great ideas for doing a little "stealth educating" while playing with their kids. As an educator, I highly recommend this book.
