This blog was created with the intention of having one place where we can all go to to search for lesson plan ideas, age-appropriate activities to do with the children in the classrooms and share activities and ideas we have done in our rooms that are worth sharing with others.  Feel free to share websites where you get activities or ideas, books you have used, ideas from conferences/trainings, ideas from being out and about in the community or pictures of materials you have used to create these experiences in your rooms.  If you are posting on this site, DO NOT include any of the children's names or pictures of the children on the site, as this is not allowed and the post will be taken down.  Thank you and enjoy!!
