Research conducted by famous child development scientists, such as Piaget, Vygotsky and Bruner, suggest that integrating subject matter across different content areas, such as math and science, engages the whole brain through active and hands-on involvement, according to the Early Childhood News website.
In creating thematic units, teachers should plan for one topic per week or month depending on the broadness of the theme. Units can be planned around a book, season of the year, or basic skill such as colors or letters. Another resource for theme ideas comes from the students themselves. Poll the class to find out where their interests lie and plan a few units around those particular ideas.
Once themes have been chosen, find learning center and hands-on activities to support the topic. Gather books about the theme to read. Study teacher resource books and websites for games and lessons that teach math, science and social studies skill as they relate to the theme. Plan art and music activities to include fine arts.
Choose a season of the year, such as fall, to use as your theme for the month.
