PREFACE.

The :iiiii of the ])i'e.sent work, as tlio title iiii])lies, is to sug-

gest program Gift and Occupation AVork for a year in kinder-

garten. The home with its interests, and sini])le nature work,

form the hasi-; of the ontline, and as far as possihle home plays

and home ])lay methods have been carried over as trne kinder-

garten links hetween the home and the school.

The outline has heen nsod in practical ex])erience in two

pnhlic kindergartens for a nmnher of years, and the anthors

have sn,giieste(l no ]dan of work whicli may not l)e carried out

with classes of twenty children or more.

Large materials, inclnding the hnilding gifts, enlarged tab-

lets, sticks, and rings, have lu'cn used, also larger blocks for group

work building on the tloor and in a sand box. Sea shells and

large seeds have l)een nsed with great snccess for outlining and

designing. In addition to kiiidei'gartcn ])lay material, the use

of toYS is urged, also the ntiliziuii' of home nuiterials, such as

empty boxes, spools, pict()rial catalogues, etc., for constructive

A\'ork.

The colored ]iosters are a suggestion for a new and very

effective form of brush work, giving practice in the putting on

of washes.

In presenting this outline, it is hoped that it may be used

only as suggestive. In souk^ cases the occupation for the day

iv Preface.

Avoiiltl cover a uuuiber of days' Avovk, and the kiudergartner

iinist accept the hook as slie is ahle to interpret it in her own

kin(k'r<>arten.

]\[nch inspiration for the outline has l)een i>ained from Dr.

Dewey's University Primary School ])]ans. We are also in-

debted to ]Miss Lonise Green of the William Street Kindergar-

ten, Spring-field, for original woi'k along the line (d" illnstration.

]\hudi of the constrnctive Avork in ])a])er and hristol hoard

has been found in Kna])])'s Ratha and Reed Weaving, to which

freqnent reference is made.
