This review is from: Engaging Children's Minds: The Project Approach (Hardcover)
I really liked the information in this book. It really helped me understand the project approach, since I was very new to the concept. I have really gotten lots of positive "reviews" from both my preschoolers and their parents. I used many of the suggestions in a Science Camp format for only a few hours/few days. I couldn't go as in-depth, but I was able to have the children "connect" with the environment and learn so much. They were curious, excited and ready to learn more.
