Weekly Planning Form

Week of: April 4-8, 2016

Teacher: Monica Gonzalez

Study Project/Investigation: Dinosaurs

Childrens Interest: My topic is Dinosaurs. I chose this topic because dinosaurs are very popular in my class, when we ask the children if you had
gone to the museum of the dinosaurs that is in Arizona. The children were excited to go to visit the museum. The teacher told the children that
would plan a trip with their parents to visit the museum.

Special Needs
Adaptations:
Sensory tables offer a
wealth of benefits for
children with special
needs. Engaging in
sensory running
fingers pouring water
can distract and calm a
child who is feeling
over-stimulated or
anxious. It promotes
self discovery and
encourages a child to
explore new textures
which in turn supports
social and emotional
development.
