Take the day off from planning! With this book, an entire day's lessons are at your fingertips. The 32 themes included in this book can be used during holidays, incorporated into existing units, or simply be one-day mini units.

Have a "Kite Theme" day in the fall or spring when students can go outside and fly their own creations. Incorporate "Moon Theme" ideas into a longer unit on Space. Introduce the activities presented in the "Heart Theme" during the excitement that builds around Valentine's Day.

You'll find that all of the themes start off with a list of related Web sites. At the primary level, the Internet is most effectively used as a stimulus or motivating tool to spark enthusiasm for the study of a particular theme.

This "virtual visit" serves as the exciting kick-off for the many related activities that follow. Each theme consists of lesson plans for Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Art, and Movement, a list of related literature, and reproducible worksheets.
