WHY THEMES?
Themes help preschoolers construct knowledge and build connections through real experiences. Instead of having a day of disjointed activities, themes organize new information around a unified context, which results in a growing web of knowledge.
Each theme creatively integrates colors, shapes, numbers and letters of the month.
Monthly themes invite children to explore new ideas with an interdisciplinary, multi-sensory approach. Experience Curriculum uses music, art, dramatic play, storytelling, games, books and experiments to ignite imagination and bring the theme to life in four weeks of wonder.
Your child will start by investigating the bee’s body parts, life and work. They will explore the shape of a honeycomb, then build their own beehive. From pretending to be a bee to making honey, your child will learn how bees help and hurt us. As the topic changes to butterflies, your child will learn about the life cycle of a butterfly. They will decorate their own flying butterfly and learn how butterflies migrate to Mexico. In the process, they will get a closer look at butterfly parts. This month will awaken the scientific wonder and awe of the busy and beautiful world of bees and butterflies.
