KcnJason, Sorry I do not have a facebook page but will be happy to share my themes with you. I personally love teaching the kids as it is the greatest reward....When a mom comes in crying because at the age of 3 and a half her son was able to take a book home off of my shelf and read it to his family yep that's a feel good moment, When Kindergarten teachers thank me for making sure the children I have sent them are in the advanced group another feel good moment, When one of my 3 year olds can tell me what month I am going to put up today another feel good moment so many feel good moments. My children love every thing I do with them every art project every flashcard and yep every ditto sheet. They do 1 a day. They are never forced or made to do any of these activities but somehow the children can't wait to be a part of my planned activities. They love doing their jobs such as paper passer, marker passer spoon passer and so on they look forward to having responsibilities.
I have been theme teahing for years it is what I am used to and what I will always do. It works best for me. My son speaks for me he is in a liberal arts college on an academic scholarship he has two majors right now Math and Economics So I will stick to what I know works.
