Theme Lists |
|
| Our lesson plans are designed around a weekly theme. The theme is the same throughout the building so teachers can share ideas and resources and the classrooms can work on bigger projects together. Art projects, science centers, language activities, reading, and manipulatives are arranged around the theme to encourage learning in all areas of development. The following is a list of our weekly themes and activities in each month. These are the themes that are typical for the month, but some themes may vary for holidays and special activities. | |
