This Pilipino teacher's guide is part of Berkeley, California Unified School District Asian American Bilingual Center's interest in fostering the total growth of the child. To facilitate that growth, the Center has selected an interdisciplinary approach to curriculum development. Social studies themes and concepts provide the framework within which all the subject areas, including mathematics, reading and language arts, fine arts, and science, are organized. The four social studies themes are child, family, community, and natural environment. The themes reappear and expand through the curriculum from one text to the next. Level One is designed for children in grades one and two. Each level develops one or more aspects of a theme as the child moves from simple to complex ideas and from understanding of self to understanding of society. Unit 1 of the document, entitled "Behavior," develops the conceptual statement "people's actions are based on thinking or feeling." Unit 2, "Independence and Cooperation," develops the theme "people act independently or cooperatively." The third and final unit, "Communication," examines the conceptual statement "communication is the expression of thoughts and feelings." The document includes an introduction, notes to the teacher, and a resource guide. (SG)
