Part of any teacher's life is spent searching for and compiling resources on any number of themes. While I have only been teaching for a little over a year, this process has taken up a considerable amount of time. In an effort to make my dreams of graduate school and a farm of my own a reality sooner rather then later, I have strict views on resources I'm willing to pay for. As one of my beloved education professors declared, "If you can find it for free somewhere instead of creating it yourself, use it!"
This month's exploration in the Chipmunk Classroom has focused on dinosaurs, western/pioneer/cowboys, and space! The kiddos were excited to wake up from nap to see the space-themed table skirt we hung up across dramatic play from the ceiling. I will do my best to make this an accurate list of resources to help trim down on the amount of time spent on searching for the just-right printable packet to help with this or that theme.
