Mother Goose Time picks a new theme every month. March is at the pond. In each box you get a teacher guide, planning journal, gathering list, theme web, CD, shape stamp, and manipulatives. The manipulatives for this month are green and yellow ducks and a magnifying glass.
Each box also comes with a theme poster, color wand, calendar, circle time songs, letter cards, cookie cutters, number fish, cloud shape, and gosling.
The celebration pack for this month is for St. Patrick's Day. It includes a complete lesson plan with games, crafts, and even snack ideas.
For week one we'll be learning about life around the pond: turtle, snake, tadpole, frog, and duck.
Week two covers pond plants: submerged plants, bog plants, emergent plants, floating plants and algae.
Week three is all about pond insects: dragonfly, mosquito, water strider, mayfly and the backswimmer.
For the last week we'll learn about life at the pond: snail, crayfish, lizard, alligator and fish. I love how easy Mother Goose Time makes it to stay organized. All 20 days come in their own bag with all the little extras needed to complete the lessons. We're having a lot of fun this month with nursery rhymes, but I know the girls are excited to learn about ponds.
