Developing a sense of adventure in learning can make all the difference between teaching incipient lifelong learners or struggling with apathetic students. In this engaging book, Mary Glover and Beth Giacalone recount how a buddyreading project between preschoolers and first/second graders became a yearlong vehicle for developing multiple literacies, life values, and enthusiasms of all sorts. They provide a glimpse of early childhood education at its best.Surprising Destinations offers a model for a refreshing, thoughtprovoking approach to early childhood curriculum that integrates art, science, gardening, celebrations, intergenerational program involvement, community service projects, and human rights study. Incorporating a years worth of ideas, suggestions, survival tips, and vignettes, it shows how "buddy study" time nurtures literacy in the traditional and broader human sensehow it emphasizes humanitarian qualities of respectfulness, kindness, compassion, and responsibility. Youll see how these two classes of children ended up being buddies in greater ways than even the teachers envisioned. And the surprising and joyful destinations they ultimately reached reveal what can happen when curriculum and teaching practices support this kind of learning.At a time of deep educational unrest and standardsdriven curriculums, Glover and Giacalone offer an alternative to our collective vision of schooling, inviting other educators to work together, reflect on their teaching practices, and pursue interests as teacher researchers.
