What's In The Box - "Fables and Folktales"

Mother GooseTime’s August curriculum is called “Fables and Folktales”. We will learn all about fables and folktales that have been shared for many generations.

 

Here is a picture of the theme web for this month. It shows the different subjects that will be covered each week/day and how they relate to the main theme.

Each month in your teacher’s tool bag you’ll receive a Teacher Guide and a Planning Journal.

I’ve also added the Little Goose teacher guide supplement to our curriculum that we receive each month. It’s a great teacher guide that helps me adjust the activities for my 2 year old and make it easier for her to participate.

 

I also chose to add the Experience God add-on to our curriculum as well.

Also included is a Skills Overview chart and Gathering List. The chart shows all the different skills that the children will be performing with all the different activities. The gathering list is great too. It shows all the supplies that will be needed for the month.

Each month you’ll receive a new cd with songs that go along with the month’s theme.

You’ll get a new themed calendar for the month too.

This month we were also provided with a baseline assessment toolkit. This toolkit will help show where your child’s development is at right now and to help show how they are progressing so you can compare later on throughout the school year.

 

You’ll also be provided with a monthly family newsletter that you can give to parents of your kiddos. It shows some of the things that the kids will be learning as well as suggestions of books to read and family activities.

There are also 20 premade packets stuffed with pretty much everything you’ll need.

Each month, Mother Goose Time will also provide a packet with manipulatives for the month. These are the items included in this month’s packet.

You’ll receive a new story time book each month. This month is called “Aesop’s Fables for Preschoolers”.

Here’s an example of one of the stories in the book. The illustrations in this book are so stinkin’ cute!

You’ll get a new My Little Journal each month too. This month kids will be reviewing shapes, colors, numbers, and letters.

You’ll also get a new I Can Read book. In it, they’ll practice the month’s sight words and they’re displayed on the back of the book as well.

Games!! Little ones get to play lots of different and fun games to help with their learning as well. Here are some of the games that we will be playing this month.

Here’s an example of one day’s supplies and activities. This is Day 1. There are so much more great things included with this month’s curriculum! In addition to all these, children will:
