Recently I have been digging around a little more than normal. I usually can find stuff to piece together my own program .. but wow did ya all know there are already made curriculum's for free on the internet?

I found one that I think I will try to use .. I can add to it my literature areas - this is great that I can expand what is already present.

Here is the link Brightly Beaming Steps to Reading Program by Katrina Lybbert

I am looking for more .. does anyone have others to share?

If you write your own please share your ideas here and under the topics provided..If I need to add a topic please let me know ..........or if you can just new topic it and add it

thanks

I have purchased items from them. I feel some of the kits I have purchased were way advanced for my daycare kids. but for what I paid I got my $ worth.

Ok now the free part they do have free printable on this site. Some free items listed I suppose monthly - not sure.

Stormie was one of the first sites I looked at on the wonderful world wide web...gosh those were years ago .... lol shhhhhhh I didnt say that out right?
When I was in college .. Lets just say Stormie helped me out a bunch!!

Lots of free helpful information here!

Lots of free info .. I personally love the way she outlines a curriculum shows what she will be working on for the month and then goes into details about this --- this is how I was told to do it in my ECE Classes!

I love the calendar - very useful!!

I use to send home a calendar like this one for the parents to know what was going on - as well as a large calendar bulletin board to show what we would be working on - 2 reminders .. this was in a center.

I love the click to find the info regarding this ..

great resource!

Thanks for sharing

Kar - I am glad you found it useful.. most of the time my age groups are 2 and 3 ..and so many of the programs are geared for sitting at the table and learning .. and we all know how well a 2 year old can sit!
