develop a series of theme-based learning activities that focus on the basic concepts children develop during the preoperational and concrete operational stages

It’s spring and you’d like to engage your group of three- and four-year-olds in a series of learning activities based on a common theme related to the time of year. You want to make sure the activities will reinforce the basic concepts of math and science, especially the development of classification and logical thinking skills.

Focus Assignment

Write your self-evaluation after you have completed mapping out your plan.
