A site I use every week

A site I use on a weekly basis to help prepare my weekly curriculum is http://www.letteroftheweek.com/preparatory_weeklythemes.html. I love this site because they offer a free, age appropriate, online curriculum. The website describes a learning poster which is something I do weekly. On the poster there is a space for the weekly theme, vocabulary word, shape/color, letter, number, and nursery rhyme each week. By keeping this poster in a highly visible place, your child will be reminded often of the concepts you are trying to teach. There are different curriculums according to age-but here is the curriculum for 2 year olds and the one I follow:
