Spiral Bound Set of Activity and Routines Resource Book
The Activity and Routines correspond to each assessment item and are used as a "first step" in planning daily activities and routines. In addition, the cards provide "consideration" tips for the classroom environment and interactions. These tips will help the teacher reflect on the child's development and interests or her own teaching practices. The activities and considerations are written in language appropriate for use by parents and can be shared by the caregiver/teacher.
