Thank you for this video. I was going crazy with trying to follow the curriculum that was not working for students. Especially, the books were not great for read aloud. Teachers should be able to choose and write their own curriculum when necessary.

We don’t have a curriculum at all. It’s difficult to come up with everything on my own. But listening to this video helps me to be thankful for that

Yeah...you are lucky! It can make things a little more challenging, but ultimately, if you know what youare doing iti s lots better!

my school has just switched over to GSRP Pre-K to help with the Universal Pre-K to allow for free/greatly reduced childcare costs. We are headed to switch to Creative Curriculum per county standards and I am super nervous for this next challenge. For the last 4 years I have not had as strict of a curriculum to follow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge I am hoping that this will help adapt this curriculum to fit my group of students

The Creative Curriculum is a good curriculum...mostof them are, but remember that you need to fit it into your classroom with your kids and not the other way around and you will be great!

I teach three year olds and although I stay within the parameters of the pre written lesson plans, which come with the Creative Curriculum, I have to modify the lesson plans to meet the developmental needs of my students each year. I find that the curriculum caters more to four year olds although the Intentional lesson cards do give alternative ways to do lessons and activities according to the age group. I agree with everything you mentioned in this video. It’s impossible to have a one size fits all approach.

Thanks for your comment...I think I would like to learn a little more about the Creative Curriculum...I know a little, but not enough to be knowledgeable. I am assuming that curriculum does what just about every other curriculum out there does...which is just what you say here...caters to either 3-4, or 4-5 with very little help as to how to level up or down. You can't blame them...it's hard! Those ages are incredibly different developmentally! I am wondering how teachers with mixed ages do it all!

Which books would you recommend for 2 years old classroom please? I think i will do the same like you and bring my own books
@teachpre-k101Ай бұрын
Hey! Thanks for commenting. There are so many books out there for 2 year-olds! I would start with an amazon search for that age group and make a list. I bring books related to my theme for the week, and read some at story time and supplement my library center with some too.
