"All About Me"

Our baby girl G is starting her first day of school this year (yeaaah!), and trying to be on top of things I went ahead and get myself a copy of 'The Jamaica Early Childhood Curriculum Guide'. I found it on their website, free of cost to download, pdf form, from birth to 5 yrs old...and I do believe it will help me to keep up with the pace of the teachers and not be clueless as to what my child should be learning in class. You can find the curriculum here if you're interested: http://www.ecc.gov.jm/l-public_manuls.htm

I'm using 'Birth to Three' (I also have an almost 1 yr old):

Of course I'm expecting her teachers to introduce other things to her. There is Heroes' Day coming up; which school wouldn't cover that?!

Well the first theme for her age group (age 3) is 'All About Me' and it covers most, if not all, all about them :); name, age, gender, emotions, birthdays, etc. You get the idea. I am really excited myself...she coming home from school, me helping her with her home work and cookies in the oven baking (yup suuuuure: day dreaming here)....most of all I'm really looking to push my limit so I can help her enjoy learning and her school experience. Some days will be better than others but I'll do my best (pinky promise, cross my heart, hope to die).

The first sub-theme is 'Who am I', which is what I'll be addressing. I will also be feeding off my sister, an Early Childhood educator, who can share her ideas and make suggestions which will help guide me on this journey (big sister rocks!). This I will share with you, and any other great materials that will help us in this theme. I am also open to your ideas so please share.
