Additional Resources

I chose these resources because I truly feel that they have been the most beneficial to me in my teaching of young children.  I was required to use all of these in previous courses, but theses are ones that I keep on my shelf and refer to often.  The Whole Child is my absolute favorite as it covers all areas of development and it truly gives you a better understanding if the "whole child".
