The excitement of the holidays can make it hard to return to a normal routine in January. Fortunately, Mother Goose Time makes this homeschooling Mom’s life much easier by saving one of their best themes for this time of year. We’re going to have a great time enjoying this month’s theme, Going On Safari!
The kids and I are looking forward to all the 2018-2019 themes!
Weekly Investigations
Week 1: Getting Ready for Safari
Week 2: Wild Safari Animals
Week 3: Life in the Grasslands
Week 4: Backyard Safari
Teacher Resources
Going On Safari 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
“Going On Safari” 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 🙂
Calendar and Daily Activities
We also have a whole new list of suggested books and outdoor and STEAM inspired play ideas.
We’ll be sure to share some of our favorites on Facebook and Instagram!
