It can be so overwhelming to plan for the entire year of preschool! That’s why I created this year-long curriculum map for preschool and Pre-K, it includes a Year at a Glance, weekly small group math and literacy plans, science, book lists and more.
I’ve mapped out the whole year for you, just print and go!
What is a Preschool Curriculum Map?
A preschool curriculum map is a reference you can use to help plan out your entire school year.
A curriculum map is also commonly referred to as a pacing guide in the educational world, as well as a scope and sequence.
Teachers using this resource include both public and private school teachers. Many school districts and early childhood centers throughout the U.S. have implemented this resource in their programs with great success.
Preschool Curriculum Map: Year at a Glance
The year at a glance is just a brief outline of the topics and themes covered throughout the school year.
If you notice a particular theme or unit that isn’t currently linked, it means it is forthcoming.
You’ll want to get on my mailing list so you’ll be the first to know when these new resources have been added.
Book Lists
Choosing high-quality picture books to read-aloud in your classroom is so important. We don’t get much time with our students, so we have to make the time we do have together really count by selecting books that build academic vocabulary and background knowledge.
You’ll notice that there is a separate column in your guide that links to specific book lists to help you plan your lessons. When you click on the image in each of those spaces, you will go directly to the corresponding book list at Pre-K Pages.
To start using the book lists, simply click on the current book list, and then search your local library’s database to reserve copies of the books you want.
Remember, the books on these lists are just suggestions, feel free to make adjustments and substitutions as necessary.
If a book list isn’t linked, that means it hasn’t been published yet, or it is out-of-print.
Which Grade Level or Age Group?
This curriculum map is specifically designed for teachers of Preschool and Pre-K, or children 4-5 years of age.
Many of the ideas and resources can be modified to meet the unique needs of students who are struggling, or those who may need more challenging material.
