Preliminary Planning ~|
Is Another Requisite
__"Has your preliminary planning
Included any observation, reflection,
and study of children? How much
do you know about the., way chil-dren
grow? Suppose you are to
teach nine-year-olds this year
What are children who are nine
concerned about? How easily do
they fatigue. What important phy-sical
changes are occurring' at
nine? Why do nine-year-olds join
clubs and seek ftreater emancipa-tion
from their gnothers? Taking
time to become informed as to the
physical, emotional, and cpcjal
characteristics of your "age*"group
will pay high dividends. You will
view your curricula as^a series of
meaningful experiences" which are
right for childi^n ffi this age. You
will endeavor to "provide those ex-periences
which are more genuine-ly
suited- to...your...children. You
will expect those achievements
