In this assignment, you are asked to choose a theme/study area for children 1-2.6 years of age

In this assignment, you are asked to choose a theme/study area for children 1-2.6 years of age! Think about how you might create goals, set up your environment and integrate different areas of development and subject areas in a developmentally appropriate way. Pay careful attention to the videos for the age groups shown in Module 1 and the NYS Early Learning Guidelines also in that Module to guide you. 

In this assignment, you have to choose study area that is appropriate for infants/toddlers. Each activity plan element has to be completed and is integrated into the study area. Each element of the plan is developmentally appropriate for infants/toddlers as deemed by NYS Early Learning Standards. There is an opportunity for children in a range of developmental levels in all 
activities. Open-ended activities, play and exploration are abundant. Each of the 3 parent involvement strategies and the parent letter are linked with both the theme of the weekly plan as well as the textbook reading. Thought is given to addressing at least 3 levels of parent involvement and makes room for several family situations. Each of the 3 cultural connection strategies are linked with both the theme of the weekly plan as well as the textbook. The strategies point to an overall cohesive approach rather than a token approach. The Bredekamp textbook is cited specifically and appropriately and where requested. A minimum of 4 citations with respect to the rationales is included.
