Sharing, Giving, and Receiving as Elements of Educational Curriculum for Life
This page outlines teaching curriculum ideas for Sharing, Giving, and Receiving as elements of the “Sharing” category of the Curriculum for Life component of the open source Education for Life Program. This curriculum is meant as a globally collaborative and ever-expanding archive of ideas to be combined with the Teaching Strategies for Life component, and Learning Tools and Toys for Life component, to create endless Lesson Plans for Life purposed to grow and evolve what we feel will be the most comprehensive, effective, and diversely applicable free-education program and open source and free-shared project-launch usable education blueprint in the world.

SHARING, GIVING, & RECEIVING CURRICULUM
The following is a list of sharing, giving, and receiving curriculum topics divided into these three categories. If you have an idea or section that you believe should be included here, please send it to us using our Suggestions Page. Visit our Lesson Plans Page for lesson plans designed to integrate this curriculum.
NOTE: Curriculum with asterisks is curriculum we consider “core curriculum” that is central to the lesson plan design process. To identify these subjects we adopted the California Department of Education guidelines (because they are some of the most comprehensive and strict in the nation), added in the national SAT/ACT expectations for grade 7 and beyond, referenced the US Common Core State Standards Documents, and then double checked our curriculum and goals against the best selling and #1 teacher recommended Spectrum Test Prep workbook series. Curriculum with “*” is curriculum identified through these methods as foundational to 1st-6th grade learning. Curriculum with “**” is curriculum identified through these methods as foundational to 7th-12th learning.
