Planning for Emergent Curriculum: Capturing Seasonal Events

When children are outside having experiences every day their interests will be rooted in the seasons. The seasons are predictable from year to year. That means we can plan ahead for an emergent curriculum–making the approach easier! 

The templates in this workbook guide you through identifying local, seasonal events in nature and your community. The workbook then provides a framework for brainstorming experiences and materials that could be included in the classroom (Inside, Outside, or Beyond) to build on children’s interests. 

In the end you will have a library of ideas that you can draw from when you’re planning based on the children’s current interests and goals.
