Wanted * A Preschool Curriculum that doesn't focus on Letters

[SonshineLearner]

Hi There,

 

I'm looking for a preschool curriculum that doesn't focus on letters. I also am planning on having a Teacher use it with a class of students aged 2.5- under 4 yrs old. If I have enough students, I'll divide the class.

 

I'm looking for activities the children can actually do... poems.... songs... colors... etc.

 

Any great "preschool co-op" curriculum? This would be for 24 days a year , 2.5 hrs a time.... (Running Sept - April)

 

Ideas??

We are currently LOVING The Learning Box. It does introduce a letter each week, but it definitely isn't emphasized. It's a complete program with TONS of crafts, and everything comes in the kit ready to go. (So if you need 4 large brown circles and 4 small white circles, they are in the little baggie labeled "Day 1".) It's WONDERFUL and my kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! They include 2 books a month. You read one each day for the first two weeks and one each day for the second two weeks of the month. It also covers basic patterns, weather, colors, shapes, etc.
