Desert Discovery (Sneak Peek) with Mother Goose Time

March is the perfect time to learn more about deserts with Mother Goose Time. From cowboys to coyotes and cacti to pyramids, there is so much to explore! While the kids are playing they will also be picking up some much needed skills that will ease them into developing strong literacy and mathematic abilities. Having fun and playing are the perfect way to start a learning journey!

The kids and I are looking forward to all the 2018-2019 themes!

Weekly Investigations

Week 1: At the Rodeo

Teacher Resources

Desert Discovery comes with teacher resources that make planning and executing a fun learning experience achievable and organized.

There is a separate teacher guide for each week of the program. The guides include all the instructions you need for daily activities and projects with book recommendations, play suggestions, and helpful skill building tips. A learning objectives and overview page gives a weekly pictorial summary of all the projects.

Daily Child Projects

“Desert Discovery” is jam packed with wonderful projects focused on community challenges, creative arts (invitations to create & make and play), small group math and literacy, and table top math and literacy.

A quick pictorial overview of the daily projects and art included in the first week is shown in the above image.  Follow us on Instagram  and Facebook to see the finished projects 🙂

We also have a whole new list of suggested books and outdoor and STEAM inspired play ideas.
