NEWS UPDATE about the brand new developmentally appropriate curriculum for Toddlers(18 to 36 months old) that I have been working on.
Well, it is taking me a little longer than I projected to finish creating the Toddler Curriculum. It is turning out to be MUCH bigger project than I envisioned. There are 70 theme areas, each with 20 to 30 linked activity pages (NOT worksheets, but DAP games and activities for teachers to make, and lots of photos and pictures). IT IS GOOD, and worth waiting for. You know as well as I do that it is almost impossible to find a DAP curriculum, for the ages I am writing for, anywhere on the web.
I know that many of you are waiting for it, so I have decided to post the theme chapters,as I finish them, in the KidSparkz Resource Room. That way, I don't have to rush, and you don't have to wait until I'm finished everything. I have already completed all the written activities for the 70 themes - it's setting up the activity pages that is taking the extra time. So, as I finish the activity pages for each theme, I will post it in the Resource Room, and in the end you will have the complete Toddler Curriculum for just the price of the Resource Room (plus all the other pages in there, of course). When I am finished, it will also be available as a stand alone curriculum, so you are also welcome to wait for it to come that way, if you want. I am posting approximately 120 pages in the Resource Room today, with more to be added daily.
