Dr. Seuss Theme – One Day Sample
Day 1
Circle Time:
Left & Right Feet
Read the story the "Foot Book"
Explain to the children how Dr. Seuss has been writing stories for children for many years and March 2nd is Dr. Seuss's birthday and how they are going to help celebrate his birthday by reading some of his stories today.
For today we will be reading the stories listed below all written by Dr. Seuss, if you do not have the books listed below check with your local library to see if you can borrow the books.
- 1. Foot Book
- 2. Cat in the Hat
- 3. Horton Hears A Who
- 4. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
- 5. 10 Apples Up On Top
- 6. Green Eggs and Ham
To begin today:
Teacher will read the "Foot Book" story to the children and after the story teacher will have all the children remove their socks and shoes and she will trace around each of the children’s feet- make sure you trace around both the right and left foot and try to go in between their toes while you are tracing their feet with a pencil. Trace around their feet onto heavy paper such as white cardstock paper and then have the children color or paint their feet and then they can decorate their feet (tracings) by placing star stickers onto their toes on their papers that they just colored, if they paint their toes, then they will need to wait for the paint to dry before sticking on the star stickers.
When they are done coloring their feet pictures, have the children cut out both of their feet and glue these onto a piece of construction paper and under the left foot teacher will write "Left", and under the right foot teacher will write "Right".
Have the children sing the Hokey Pokey Song with you, to help the children learn their left and right, have them sing the song below and have them move their left or right foot as they sing the song below.
Hokey Pokey Song
You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out;
You put your right foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
You put your left foot in,
You put your left foot out;
You put your left foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
Then teacher will trace the left foot of each child onto colored cardstock paper and teacher will cut these out, write each child's name onto the back side of each foot and write a number onto the front of each foot 1 – 5.
Begin by holding up one of the feet and have the children guess who’s foot your holding up, and then put the children into small groups and give them five of the foot prints with the numbers 1 – 5 written on them, have the children take turns putting the feet in order, have the children in the group help each other to put the feet in the correct order, have a race and see which group can put the feet into the correct order first.
Song/Rhyme:
Did Horton Hear A Who? – Song
Tune to "Old McDonald Had A Farm"
Did Horton hear a duck, ei, ei, o ei, ei, o ei, ei, o
Did Horton hear a duck? Quack, quack.
Repeat with cat (meow), dog (bark), sheep (baa), cow (moo), pig (oink), horse (neigh), Did Horton hear a who, (yes, yes)
Hold up a toy animal or stuffed animal of each of the animals listed above as you sing the song about that animal and make the animal sound.
Directions: Read the children the story "Horton Hears A Who" and then have them make an elephant puppet and then sing the song above holding up their elephant puppet each time they sing the name Horton. (Teacher will point at her elephant puppet each time she sings Horton)
Teacher will need to print out the elephant puppets, there are two on a page, have the children color the elephants and then tape them to a jumbo craft stick to make an elephant puppet.
After the song print out the large elephant picture and have the children color the elephant.
Art Time:
Cat Wearing A Hat
Read the children the story "Cat In The Hat"
Print out the large cat face shape and the large hat shape, and the round circle (cats face) onto white heavy paper such as cardstock paper. Use these three shapes as a pattern and cut out each child one cat face shape, one hat shape and one circle from white cardstock or white construction paper.
Have the children paint the cat's face shape black and then have the children paint the cats hat red and then set these aside to dry.
While their pictures are drying have the children make their cats face by using the white round circle have the children glue on two google eyes, a small round circle of black paper for a nose and 4 long skinny strips of black paper for whiskers or you can have them use four black chenille sticks for whiskers and then after their black cats face dries have them glue the white cat circle face right onto the center of the black cat's face to make the cat's face, then have them cut out two strips of white paper and glue them to the hat to make the cats hat look like the hat in the story and then have them glue the hat onto the cat to make a cat wearing a hat. Tell the children this cat is wearing a hat too, just like the cat in the story that they just heard read!
Learning Time:
Sort The Fish
Read the children the story "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish"
Teacher will need to print out the fish cards (black and white fish, six on the page), print these onto different colors of cardstock paper, such as red, blue, yellow and white cardstock paper.
You will need four paper plates and three sheets of cardstock paper, the same colors that you used for the fish and cut out a red, blue and yellow circle from the cardstock paper, you can use the circle from the cat in the hat art time (as a pattern) to cut out the circles that you need.
Tape or glue one of each colored circle (red, yellow and blue) to each one of the paper plates, one paper plate will not have a circle taped to it as it is already white (unless your using colored paper plates then you would need a white circle) and the children will match up their fish by color the paper plates.
Cut the cards apart and place into a small cloth bag or a small pillowcase, have the children take turns picking one card from the bag, have them hold up the fish and tell you what color fish they caught from the bag. Have the children match up the fish to the matching colors on the paper plates and place the fish onto correctly colored paper plate .
Learning Time:
Apple Circle Game
Read the children the story "10 Apples Up On Top"
You will need: White cardstock paper, apple file with circles on it, circle stickers and die.
Optional two milk cartons (cardboard ones)
Directions: Print out the apple file with the circles on the apple, you will need one apple print out per child. You will need a jumbo die or you can make the die.
To make the die: you will need two cardboard type milk cartons, cut the cartons in half, and discard the tops (the part you pour from) from both cartons, then push the two cards together, open ends together, push in firmly, cut out some squares the same size as the milk carton and glue on one square to each side, write one number onto each square 1 – 6
Math Game: After the story have the children play a fun math game. They will take turns shaking the die and whatever number they shake is the amount of circle stickers that they will put on their apple, teacher will help them count out the circle stickers (if they need help) and then they will stick the circle stickers onto the small circles on their apple. The first child to fill their apple wins!
You should be able to find circle stickers in Wal-Mart in the office section or any office supply store.
Special Activity:
A Green Birthday Cake
Read the story "Green Eggs and Ham" to the children.
Then provide the children with some green play dough, rolling pins, small toy pans, small baking sheets, and small sturdy spatulas, pretend candles (wooden craft sticks or old fashioned clothespins – no springs.
Have the children pretend to make a green birthday cake, stick in pretend candles and sing happy birthday to Dr. Seuss.
They can also pretend to make green eggs by using a yogurt cup to make circles in the play dough after the roll out the dough.
Print out each child one birthday cake print out onto copy paper, have them color the cake and then teacher can cut out some rectangles (candles) from different colors of construction paper and give each of the children a few of the different colored rectangles to glue onto their birthday cakes.

Preschool Curriculum Program
Our preschool curriculum program
is geared towards children 2.5 up to 5 years old.
Our curriculum is aimed at teaching the children their shapes, colors, upper and lower case alphabet and numbers, learning to tell time, learning a few beginning sounds, simple science activities and so much more. Children will be using glue, paint and working on learning how to cut, trace, tell time plus work on pre math, pre reading, and science. Some of the simple science projects would be sorting fruits and vegetables, growing grass, watching an ant farm and so many other exciting activities!!
Our todder curriculum program
is available for every month of the year.
Our toddler themes are geared towards children 16 months to about 2.5 years. Our toddler program provides lessons on teaching the toddlers their colors, shapes, numbers up to 10, and some of their alphabet. These lessons are for children beginning to paint and glue. We also provide the words to songs/finger rhymes along with other fun activities. Our toddler curriculum is sold seperately, please click here to view our toddler program.
How Our Program Started.
We decided to develop a toddler/preschool curriculum program because we couldn't find one that we liked.
We have worked very hard at developing a good toddler/ preschool curriculum program. I bought several books on Preschool Themes and even tried a few programs that delivered every thing to your doorstep. My problem was that became expensive and the books I purchased were not quite what I was looking for. I would go through the whole book only to use one or two activities. I was determined to have a Great Toddler/Preschool Program. I have taken several classes on creating your own curriculum and have learned a lot of new ways to teach children. So I finally decided it was time to come up with my own curriculum. I find my program works really well with my home daycare but all the activities will work for a larger daycare setting or preschool or even for Mom who is lucky enough to be home with her child. All children need daily stimulation and my program provides a lot of fun interesting activities. We hope you enjoy the curriculum as much as we enjoyed putting this program together.
Getting Ready For School. We have found that when children are having fun and enjoy what they are doing, they learn quickly, which is what our program is all about, teaching the children through fun activities.
Our program is like providing a mini nursery school and preschool program in your own home. Parents like the idea that their child is having fun participating in daily activities, art projects, songs, finger plays and games, which is teaching them and getting them ready for school.
Weather Chart
My preschool curriculum
provides a circle time, art time, learning time and a special activity for five days per week.
We start our morning program off each day with circle time. To begin our circle time, we discuss with the children the weather outside. We have the children look out the window and then we ask them "What is the weather outside?" If you have a lot of younger children they may not be able to answer correctly, then
we give them hints; such as, (Is the sky white or blue?) if its white does anyone know what that means? (It’s cloudy) "Is it raining outside?" Is
snowing outside?" Is it cloudy outside?" Is it windy outside?" We have a weather chart and each day we have one of the children move the arrow to the
correct weather for that day. The weather chart is included in the toddler or preschool curriculum.
Next we focus on the calendar.
I will ask the children "Does anyone know what day it is?" If no one knows what day it is, I
will tell them, "Today Is Thursday." I made a felt calendar with numbers that have Velcro on their backs to stick to the calendar. The children take turns
putting up the numbers each day to show that days date. The Toddlers are too young to understand what a calendar is but they still have fun sticking up the
numbers. Our calendar is in my dining room and the children need to climb up into a chair to be able to reach the calendar to put on the numbers. I always
stand nearby when they are climbing onto the chair incase they start to fall. After the number for the day is put up, we start at number one, on the calendar
and I have the children count with me, to the new date that we just placed onto the calendar. As they say the numbers I point to the numbers on the calendar
to help to teach them their numbers.
Circle Time –
We start our Toddler / or Preschool Program off each day with circle time. We try to get all the children to sit together in a circle on the floor. We never force any child to participate, but we do try to encourage participation. You will find in the daily lessons which activity to do each morning for circle time. Our circle time activities could be a talk or discussion but usually involves a fun activity such as a learning activity, games, singing songs, hearing a story, etc.
Fun Way To Learn –
We have found a lot of fun ways to help the children to learn while they’re having fun. After out circle time activity we focus on the calendar. I made a Velcro one with Velcro numbers. The children take turns putting the numbers up each day. Toddlers are too young to understand what a calendar is but they still have fun sticking up the numbers and singing our seven days of the week song. All the older toddlers can sing most of it.
Seven Days Of The Week Song
There are seven days in the week, seven days in the week. There are seven days in the week. "Hold up 7 fingers"
And I know them all. "Point to self"
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Saturday is the last one. Saturday ends the week. "Teacher will point to each day on the calendar"
Repeat song.
|
Singing Songs And Reciting Rhymes -
Each week we teach the children a few new songs or rhymes for that week's theme.
Children like repetition so don't be afraid to sing any song the children really like on a daily basis, but try to add a few new ones each week. Don't expect the toddlers to sing with you but they really enjoy music so please sing. In time they will be able to copy the hand movements to the songs and nursery rhymes they hear often and before you know it they will start to sing a word or two. Be sure to include some of the children's favorites each week. Some of our children's favorites are listed below.
Weather Chart -
The weather chart is included in every monthly curriculum package.
We start our morning program off each day with circle time. To begin our circle time, we discuss with the children the weather outside. We have the children look out the window and then we ask them "What is the weather outside?" If you have a lot of younger children they may not be able to answer correctly, then we give them hints; such as, (Is the sky white or blue?) if its white does anyone know what that means? (It’s cloudy) "Is it raining outside?" Is it snowing outside?" Is it cloudy outside?" Is it windy outside?" We have a weather chart and each day we have one of the children move the arrow to the correct weather for that day.
Art Time -
There is a daily art project (craft) for the children to do each day that goes along with that weeks theme.
After circle time we have the children come to the table and sit down and get ready for art time. Look in your Toddler or Preschool lesson plans to see which craft you will be doing that day, and if you need to print anything out for that days craft. If we are going to use glue I place the glue into tiny plastic cups such as the kind you get with the sample play dough. I only put a small amount in the cup; just enough for that days project. I give the toddlers large brushes to use and the preschoolers smaller ones. If we are going to paint I make sure each child has some type of paint shirt on. If you do not have enough paint shirts, you can always use an old sweat shirt and cut off the arms. Anything will work. We use our old and stained up wash clothes for paint rags. I just wet the paint rag and it keep it handy for spills or for a child who is done before the others, or we may keep a dish pan with a small amount of water in it for the children who finish early to rinse off until they can get into the bathroom to wash up with soap and warm water.
Preschool Learning Activities -
Above are a few examples of some of our preschool learning activities.
These activities are made from easily accessible materials and provide a fun learning experience for the children. Our program also offers learning activties can be a work sheet, coloring page, a game, puzzles, bug hunt, ant farm, nature walk and other fun idea's. These activities are to teach the children about sharing, numbers, alphabet, shapes, colors and much more! The activities shown above may not be available for the month you are purchasing but similar activities are available for each month.
Special Activities -
Our preschool program also provides special activities for each day.
Please view the examples above. The first picture the one with the flowers is an activity where the children will go on a flower hunt and collect plastic flowers. The next picture show an activity where the children will feed the puppy some bones and the picture shows an activity of putting hair scrunches onto a card board base. Each monthly program has different monthly activities. The ones shown above may not be available for the month you are purchasing but similar activities are available for each month.
