This teacher's guide from the New York City public schools is designed to help teachers implement an all-day kindergarten program. Planning for the all-day kindergarten is developed and demonstrated through a thematic approach which integrates all curriculum areas. Six themes are presented, each of which includes both direct instruction activities for all children and specific lessons for children who speak English as a second language. In addition to the themes of study, the guide provides: (1) suggestions for scheduling and programing the beginning days of the school year; (2) sample room arrangements designed to assist in the setting up of learning centers; (3) examples of ways to enrich the learning environment through fingerplays, games, songs, computer activities and field trips; (4) information on the teacher's role in guiding children's growth and development; (5) suggestions for teachers, paraprofessionals, and other adults on working together; (6) information on developing literacy; (7) descriptions of formal and informal assessment procedures, and information on children with special needs; (8) a chart of skills and concepts to be learned; and (9) a bibliography which includes books for children and adults.
