SPIRAL TWO - Can fantasy be used to engage children in all ELA's?

Can fantasy be used to engage children in all ELA's?

Findings:

• Science, Literacy and Mathematics (especially 'strand' concepts) is easily woven into play organically.  Within science, Planet Earth & Beyond is not quite so easy and needs specific planning for.  As does music (to be taught well) and certain art skills. 
• Parts of technology needs to be understood developmentally in order to see in play.  Because it is steeped in planning, it's important to understand that a 5 year olds 'planning' is very much on the fly and constantly changing!  It's probably better described as sustained focus on a project.

Next step:

• Develop a planning template that allows me to track coverage.
