Integrated Curriculum Project Assignment

Students will develop integrated Activity Projects using an approach that emphasizes a child-centered, integration of content across curricular areas by creating 5 Integrated Activities based on their Project Topic.

Students will describe the activities in detail and identify areas of skill development that their investigations (or activities) encourage and support.

See the California Preschool Learning Foundations (PLFs) from Visual & Performing Arts (Volume 2: pg.1-30), Mathematics (Volume 1: pg.143-167), Language and Literacy (Volume 1: pg.47-89), Science (Volume 3: pg.48-96), and History-Social Sciences (Volume 3: pg.1-39).

Paper Format:

1. Briefly introduce your project topic, indicate why you selected it and tell the reader what age group your project investigations are intended for (3 year olds OR 4 year olds OR mixed group 3-5 year olds)

1. Describe clearly and concisely the 5 developmentally appropriate, hands-on activities.

1. After each activity description, provide 4 different PLFs to support the activity. One PLF skill per domain (visual & performing arts, mathematics, science, language & literacy and history-social sciences).

See the Preschool Foundation documents posted under course information in Canvas.

N.B. Do not use the same PLF skill repeatedly.The items listed in the Foundation documents ending in zero are not specific skills. Do not use Foundations 1.0. 2.0, etc.

1. Conclude the paper with a paragraph (or so) describing your idea for a Culminating Event and an idea for a Classroom Display to share the project topic or activities with families and classroom visitors.

The completes paper should be approximately 6 to 8 pages in length. Note that each activity description plus the associated skill description should be at least one page
