If you are not familiar with The Mailbox magazines and resources, then get acquainted. Mailbox
If you are a college student and need resource ideas to know what concepts are age/grade appropriate, the resources through The Education Center/The Mailbox will help give you a fairly good knowledge parimeter. School districts and states do vary on their curricular standards so check with local parents and teachers, check school websites to see if they post any of the curriculum maps/standards (can be by grade level or subject area), and also compare textbooks.
Another good resource to check for age and content standards are the national organizations. I will post some of those soon.
My passions in early childhood education are creativity and science. Creativity interests vary from developing phonemic awareness through rhythmic music lyrics to math concepts in music to opportunities to be artsy with different mediums. Science interests include early age and gender involvement in "lab"-like experiences to inter-connections of math and science concepts to giving science equitable classroom time in elementary classrooms.
A love for teaching young children
