Establish a strong foundation of self-awareness, personal identity, and community belonging with the Month 1: All About Me Lesson Plan by Everyday Play N Learn! This 21-page monthly curriculum bridges personal reflection, sensory science, fine motor development, and collaborative artistic expression.

Designed specifically for extended-day schedules, this unit balances focused, Montessori-inspired practical life tasks during Before Care (7:00 AM–8:30 AM) with open-ended, Reggio-Emilia-inspired Reggio "Hundred Languages of Children" project explorations during After Care (3:30 PM–6:00 PM). From liquid pouring and crinkle-cutter vegetable slicing to clay self-portraits, life-sized silhouettes, soundscapes, and neighborhood block building, children develop independence while honoring their unique traits.

What's Inside:

• Week 1 (Introduction to the Self and Our Community): Practice liquid pouring, tong transferring, buttoning frames, sponging, crinkle-cutting cucumbers/bananas, and constructing a collaborative "Community Ocean" mural.

• Week 2 (Self-Awareness): Sort preference objects, grade color swatches, trace life-sized body silhouettes, build names with movable alphabet letters, and create "Favorite Things" murals.

• Week 3 (My Senses and My Feelings): Explore mystery tactile bags, grade color shades from light to dark, match sound cylinders, name emotion cards, paint real-time feelings, and wash baby dolls.

• Week 4 (My Community and My Role): Sort family photos, practice classroom dusting and plant care, polish shoes, match community helpers to tools, gently wash natural leaves, fold cloth napkins, and host a final month-end "All About Me" Gallery Showcase.
