What's In The Box - Going on Safari

January’s box is here!

Our MotherGoose Time curriculum for January is called the “Going on Safari”.

The first bag in our box was the Teacher Tool bag. Inside this bag is the theme web poster, teacher guides, gathering list, skills overview chart, manipulatives, and the monthly CD.

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

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, Mother Goose Time will also provides fun manipulatives for the month. These are the items included in this month’s packet. Mother Goose Time includes a monthly CD in with this pack as well. Each month you’ll receive a new CD with songs that go along with the month’s theme.

 

The next bag was the Circle Time bag.

These tools are really great. Inside this bag we received items like the Friendly bee hive piece, monthly calendar and day pieces, Global friends pictures to go along with our world map, letter flags, monthly theme poster, and lots more.

This month, we also received a Celebration of Peace celebration kit. It comes with a teacher guide and a bunch of things to play games and make crafts with. These celebration kits are so much fun!

This month, I added the Dance ‘N Beats, Little Goose Guide, and Experience God addons to our curriculum.

Here’s a look at one day’s activities in the Little Goose teacher guide.

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.

You’ll receive a new story time book each month. This month our book is “Giraffe’s Can’t Dance”.

You’ll get a new My Little Journal each month too. This month kids will be learning about the color yellow, oval shape, numbers nine and ten, and letters E, Z, and S.

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.

 

Here are some of the games and crafts that we will be working on this month.
