I used to be a preschool teacher in my former life (i.e. before I became a mom!), and when my toddlers reached the age of 2.5, I decided I needed a formal teaching curriculum. When I say "formal," I mean one that was structured but could also be adapted to a parent's limited-resource situation.This book has been all of that and more. Each activity through the day is listed (from Circle Time through Assessment), as well as recommended books and materials. The subjects are as varied as one could want - from outer space to holidays to nature. I found that with most lessons, even if I didn't have the materials or books, I could usually supplement what we had in our craft box and/or bookshelf to make the theme work. I'd definitely recommend this one.
This book is awesome! I'm a stay-at-home mom with an almost 3 year old. I own other activity books, such as the Busy Book, but this enormous one tops them all! Yes, it's intended for teachers but the daily "lesson plan" structure is extremely helpful for moms who like to do several activities each day with your kids. And to have it organized all nice and neat in one big book... it's great. Better than Pinterest. Each day has a theme and explores five or more regions of playful learning, such as Art, Sensory, Dramatic (pretend) play, Small & Gross Motor, Literacy, Writing, Math, Science, etc, depending on the day. Also listed are a selection of books to read for that day and a snack idea.I'm just starting to get into this book and absolutely loving it. This is just what I've been looking for. If you're a mom who likes to keep your child(ren) engaged in play & activity instead of entertained by screens & TV, this book will be your best friend. It's very accessible and just an enormous mound of ideas.tip: Try to buy it used. I got a copy in great condition for a fraction of the 'new' price (and still qualified for free super saver shipping). My copy was listed as Good condition - it seems only slightly used, much better than I was expecting! Thank you !
This is a great resource for students like me trying to get their teaching degree. It's full of great lesson plans perfect for early childhood education. I tried a couple with my three-year-old son and he had a blast! So did I. Highly recommend this for any student teacher or current teacher.
This book gives you the basics...a starting point to build on...the activities are repetitive short on imagination.I will use a quarter of her ideas...but if you need something to jump start a unit, this may help...but for the price Isuggest you shop around, you can do better.
This book is PERFECT for homeschooling my 4-year-old. This book is HUGE!! By far the largest lesson plan book I own. And I own a LOT of them. This book would be fantastic for school teachers and for the homeschooler. I truly can't recommend this book enough. This book gives me great structure for our day with the lesson plans..Our day is planned with everything from writing, math, playtime, art. It's all there. So easy to use!! SO organized. All the way down to snack ideas and books to read.I couldn't be more impressed or more thrilled with this book. This is absolutely the best book that I own for teaching kids!!
I work for the daycares on Army bases. Army standards make us be more like teachers than babysitters and are forced to make a weekly lesson plan for kids we are in charge of which range from 6 weeks to school age. This book helps me big time to come up with ideals since they always have to have a different theme or activities each week. I am in toddler and preschool rooms (ages 2years - 5 years) so this is the perfect age for me to use. I can not wait to start using it and be able to use this and make my job so much easier.
I ordered this to homeschool my 3 year old. It definitely is more for groups. The lessons are specific to group time, etc. I was hoping it would have more activities that would be sufficient for an individual lesson. If you're teaching a daycare or head start this would be great!
