Fill Your Holidays with Teachable Moments

There are so many great learning opportunities and teachable moments during the holidays. We align these experiences and "Mini-Units" with our standard based curriculum. Similar to our year-long curriculum, the holiday curriculum is standard based and aligned with Teaching Strategies Gold Objectives. Each activity focuses on one of the objectives in Teaching Strategies Gold: listening, counting, sequencing, reading, beginning sounds, or sorting.

The Book Chart

The great thing about the Book Chart is that it is completely customizable to correspond to your child’s learning: the goal, the reward, the activities. Allow your child to be in charge of their learning. We encourage you to start small with your goals. Make the first goal quickly achievable. Eventually, you should make the goals more challenging. Their confidence grows, as they recognize that the goals are achievable.
