Monthly Thematic Unit Workshops Explained:

Our exclusive Felt FUNdamentals Workshops are a way to add value to the felt sets you may already have purchased, while introducing you to a NEW felt set as well. These are available to purchase individually or on auto-ship monthly for half-priced shipping.

Your workshop will always have the following:

A New Felt Set
Lesson Plan that centers on one of our existing felt sets you might have, or choose to purchase
3D Craft or Item to help with the lesson (one set of materials as an example are included)

The Lesson Plan will include the following:
 
A Cover Sheet: listing all the pages inside and all the felt product referenced
 
Attention Activity: A brief introduction of the theme (story, poem/nursery rhyme, game, etc)
 
Lesson: Teaching about the theme

Group Activity: An activity involving all the children (Bingo, Music, Memory/Concentration, Charades, etc.

Centers: Ideas for at least two Crafts, Two Learning pages and Manipulatives

Movement/P.E. Activity: Follow the Leader, Obstacle course, Tag, Mother May I, Musical Chairs, Finger Plays, etc.

Guessing Jar Idea: Guessing/estimating to go with the theme

Snack: Any snack/recipe to further reinforce the theme.

Book ideas: Any books to enhance the theme.

Music/Poems: Used with any activities to match the theme.

Self Esteem Badges: Something that gives the child recognition, and also helps the child “teach” their parents about the theme. The badge may be given at any point in the lesson.

There may be a page of extra ideas in Literature, Math, and Science

As far as the themes for the month, there will be two lesson plans for each month (what a deal!). So two or more of our existing felt sets will be highlighted in the lesson plan, but a lot of others will be mentioned. The felt sets we carry are italicized in the lesson plan. When you buy a felt set, it will go for more than one lesson throughout the year. Plus each month there will be a new small felt set that is included in the workshop.

These are the ideas for the year that are planned and are subject to change, with the Story Time Felts product the lessons go with, in parentheses:
