Four early childhood teachers have collaborated to create an energy-packed theme-based curriculum "exploding" with classroom tested ideas.

ThemeStorming looks at curriculum in a different way. Ten theme-based chapters including Sticky; Giant Teeny Tiny; Muddy Puddles, Soap and Bubbles; and Meanies, Monsters and Make Believe examine ideas from a different perspective and awaken both the teacher's and children's interests.

Each chapter contains theme objectives, suggested additions for learning centers, snacks, discovery activities, art activities, music and movement activities, math activities, language activities, transition ideas, songs and chants, theme extensions and variations, bibliography, poems and recordings all designed to be a springboard for creative thinking.
