They explain how the subject areas language and literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, art, movement and drama, and music all work as curriculum web when using a theme. They explain how a theme can be covered in each subject area to make a complete learning experience on the theme chosen.A curriculum unit is when the lessons are preplanned, and the teacher or school district chooses the topic they think should be taught (Krogh and Morehouse, 2014, p. 77). The units are often planned a year in advance before meeting the needs of the children in the classroom and can go for weeks. The children can learn about the topic through each subject matter when the themes and units are combined into the curriculum. The teachers are also provided with the opportunity to see which subject areas are stronger or weaker within each theme that they explore with the children. Chapter 5 Inquiry-Based Learning SummaryIt is important to provide young learners with several opportunities for them to gain knowledge of what is being taught. In reference to the textbook The Early Childhood Curriculum Inquiry Learning Through Integration by Suzanne L. Krogh and Pamela Morehouse these opportunities are, “Connections and relevance in learning; opportunities to apply skills in meaningful, real-life situations; engagement with hands-on materials; worthwhile tasks to shape constructive dispositions; group involvement and collaboration to hone emerging social skills (2014, p. 88).” With inquiry-based learning, the teacher utilizes what the students express interest in and makes it into a teaching moment despite if it is off-topic within a classroom. They use the moment as a teaching moment and for the children to engage and ask questions on what they found interest in. This method of learning nourishes creativity and curiosity. It promotes children to engage more and persist with questions. Inquiry-Based Learning takes moments of curiosity and makes it a learning opportunity for the students (and a teaching opportunity for teachers). It also promotes students being more involved with what topics are being discussed and learned.Writing prompts:What are some of the benefits of connecting the curriculum with themes and units?
