First semester schedule

Here is what I have planned for the first semester.  It is totally open to others ideas though!

Field Trips

September 26th- little buddies (I have not heard back from the lady with regards to location, I'm thinking playing at Herron park is a great back-up)

October-

3rd-fall activites/cooking-my house

10th-fire station tour on base

17th-little buddies

24th-small in town corn maze (Kasie would you mind spearheading this one?)

31st-Haunted Houses-the church or my house (Elizabeth is checking on the church use that day)

November-

7th-little buddies

14th-thanksgiving activities/crafts

28th-base indoor play center

December-

5th-Christmas crafts-my house or the church

12th-Christmas service project

Preschool

September-

27th- Deborah 

October-

4th-Lindsay's-fall and five senses

11th-Amber's-fall and five senses

18th-none fall break for public schools

25th-Ashley and Kasie

November-

1st-none, just recover from Halloween :)

8th-Ashley and Kasie

15th-Deborah-Thanksgiving 

29th-Deborah-Thanksgiving (yes this is after thanksgiving but it would provide a good review, p,us can you really teach a four year old too much on gratitude?)

December-

6th-Lindsay's-Christmas 

13th-Amber's-Christmas 

Ashley and Kasie-I was thinking you girls could do either colors and shapes, or music or dinosaurs.  Or something entirely different. Let me know how much you want amber and myself to plan for you.  

I also wasn't sure how late into December people would want to go.  I thought two weeks was good because it is the end of the teachers cycle.

I am gone November 1st but if you all really want to do it you can figure something out. I know for me the day after holidays are just nice to not have anything going on.  

Again let me know if you have other ideas or if days don't work for you!

First rotation

Here is the schedule of activities, who is teaching, and topic of school for the first set of rotations. Since there is an even number this time we will be teamed with people and then we can reevaluate for the next set if we decide to keep doing the little lesson days.

Unit 1

Teachers: Amber and Christine

Topic: Animals

Activities:

September 12-horses

September 19-Giant Springs

Unit 2

Teachers: Deborah and Ashley

Topic: Wonderful world and I am special

Activities:

September 26 Little Buddies

October 3 Little Buddies (I need to double check the dates and locations for this)

Unit 3

Teachers: Lindsay and Kasie

Topic: Fall and 5 senses

Activities:

October 10 Fire station tour on base

October 17 Fall Festival

So there is it. Let me know if you have an questions or comments. I think most the lesson plans are up already so I just need to compact them into two days instead of three, or you and your co-teacher can do that.

Thanks!
