Futura’s preschool curriculum (also called Los Chiquitos) is intended for children ages 3-6. Because children this age have very short attention spans, the activities should move very quickly. There is also a lot of repetition both in material and in activities, as students this age enjoy and thrive with routines. Repeating activities and vocabulary will also ensure that the students retain the material better. The lesson plans below are based on 1 hour to 1.5 hours of material, so expect that it will take you 2-3 classes to complete each lesson. And many of the routines and activities can be repeated longer as well. In order to keep your class lively, bring in as many manipulatives as possible and move around the room often.
