I've set out to plan out the themes for my preschool this year. My classroom is on a traditional school schedule, which means we are in operation from September until June.
I operate best on themes. I choose to do themes weekly and have set out the last two years to make my themes alphabetical to coordinate with the letter of the week. If you stretch your themes it will be successful. For example, letter X is "X marks the spot" for a pirate theme week. We also live in an ocean town, so of course we add beach safety as a theme.
Easy themes are authors, seasonal items, safety, and animals.
As always, when planning out themes, be cautious of religion, economics and cultural differences. Some parents and families may not celebrate Halloween or even Valentine's Day.
Keep up with the blog to see themes in action as we go through the year.
