Right now, they are really into garbage men, so I have been planning around that. Sometimes our themes last a week, sometimes for a month.
Now, I love Dr. Suess, and since its his birthday this week, we are doing that as well.
This is how I do things too. The kids tell me what we are going to "study". Some times one thing just leads to another and sometimes we stay on a topic fo half the day and other times it can be a whole month or more...depends on their interests and their attention spans.
Too funny Mel that yours are into gabage men.... we just had that topic for almost all of December.
Now we have moved on to ice/snow and where it comes from.
