Homeschoolers are notorious for neglecting health and fitness. I am thrilled that Mother Goose Time introduces this concept to my little ones early. Using games and creative expression the kids learn through play about the many health benefits of good food and exercise. We hope you enjoy this sneak peek of this month’s theme, Health and Fitness!
The kids and I are looking forward to all the 2018-2019 themes!
Weekly Investigations
Week 1: Food Groups
Week 2: In the Kitchen

Teacher Resources
Health and Fitness 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
“Health and Fitness” 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 🙂
Books and STEAM
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!
