Lights, camera, action!</a><br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-preschool-podcast/id1226551045"></a><br> The first half of the year was an introduction to school and an introduction to learning. You taught your classroom how much they could accomplish in the world and they began to believe in themselves. By learning about nature and the environment, kids recognized that they could literally change and impact the world.<br> And once the class understands that they can change the world, it’s our  job to start showing them how! <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-preschool-podcast/id1226551045">That’s what we discuss in this episode of the Punk Rock Preschool Podcast!</a><br> Show your students that everything you learn can be applied to your life! Every student can their knowledge to not only make their lives better but to also make the world a better place! <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-preschool-podcast/id1226551045">In ACT II, we get into lots of the examples on how to make this crystal-clear in your classroom.</a><br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-preschool-podcast/id1226551045"></a><br> In the Punk Rock Preschool Curriculum, ACT II is also known as “The World of Success.” In this 9-week unit that made up the third quarter of the school-year, our class learned about health, civics, and business. With each of these units, we used what we learned in school to make our lives better.

And since we learned in ACT I that we can make an impact in the world by recycling, students are already primed and ready to go!  They already know they can make an impact on the world! So now take that opportunity and show them ALL the ways they can leave a positive effect on themselves, their communities, and society as a whole!<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-preschool-podcast/id1226551045"> In this episode, find out how you can teach four and five-year-olds how to use government, charity, and business to make their mark on the world!</a><br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-preschool-podcast/id1226551045"></a><br> “Unlocking Potential” can definitely sound buzz-wordy.
