Guide your kindergarteners on an enriching journey from their local neighborhood to the wider natural world with the Month 2: My Place in the World Lesson Plan by Everyday Play N Learn! This action-packed 21-page monthly curriculum bridges civic community roles, environmental science, hands-on crafting, and global citizenship.

Tailored specifically for structured Before Care (7:00 AM–8:30 AM) and After Care (3:30 PM–6:00 PM) extended-day or out-of-school time schedules, this unit balances focused Montessori-inspired practical life tasks with collaborative, project-based afternoon explorations—from neighborhood map murals and farmers market role-play to rainstick crafting, future city recycled builds, and a capstone month-end gallery showcase.

What's Inside:

• Week 1 (The Community Around Me): Match community helper uniforms, organize library shelves, run a farmers market role-play, clean toy transportation vehicles, and construct a collaborative "Neighborhood Map" mural.

• Week 2 (Our Natural World): Layer light box shapes, paint "Day and Night" murals, build structures with natural pinecones/stones, care for classroom plants and construct terrariums, assemble rainstick instruments, and host a "Natural World" Gallery.

• Week 3 (The World Through My Hands): Construct "City of the Future" models out of recycled recyclables, sculpt clay with tools, spread toppings on crackers for edible art, analyze helping-hands social cards, and practice table washing.

• Week 4 (My Community in the Wider World): Navigate classroom maps, construct school/playground models, paint cityscape murals, assemble continent map puzzles, practice shoe lacing, and present the final "My Place in the World" Gallery Showcase.
