Why Hands-On Learning in the Early Years? Consequently, it’s how students learn…

As a result, I wrote this curriculum to be easy-to-use, and involve only a minimal amount of prep time. (Prep such as, laminating, cutting, and organizing materials once, and then moving on to play). 

The curriculum, broken into 29 unit studies, follows a traditional school year. You can mix and match the themes to your community, time of year, as well as interest level. The following list is simply in alphabetical order. Additionally, all of the content not linked (yet) is coming very soon.

This Science the TK Way curriculum is hands-on all the way! From the unit studies integrating science inquiry-based learning throughout the curriculum. Covering standards such as subitizing, CVC words, 2 and 3-dimensional shapes. Plus, writing practice and so much more, this curriculum strives to make learning (and teaching) fun! 

Science Inquiry Based Learning Lessons for Kindergarten, Preschool, and Homeschool

Designed to engage visual, auditory, as well as kinesthetic learners. The hands-on science project’s curriculum was developed with students in mind. The activities in this complete curriculum help develop gross and fine motor skills as well as give sensory seekers a safe place to practice. I believe that children learn best when they have multiple senses engaged, and when they have meaningful experiences that they can connect with. These lessons will help you create these kinds of experiences with your young learners!
